and the studio in which he painted his clint was a ball room from the art nouveau era. truckie always prepares his projects together with his wife elena the couple who are behind the biggest forgery scandal of the twenty first century so far they out wedded the world for nearly twenty years before being discovered and sentenced to years in prison the bill truckies had smuggled over three hundred four degrees into the art market most of them have yet to be identified. now truckie is doing what he's always done and does best he's creating art work in the style of other master painters but clint almost had him stumped. it was. i saw through the background the figure of death or what i think he might have seen so that's first i have to figure out what he could have seen last night it occurred to me he sees the fairy man the fairy man as a symbol of approaching death as. christiane sought hopes the kairos project will introduce art history to a wider public before the paintings move into their permanent home in a new museum in under armor galba varia they'll go on tour in au

so clint, what happens next? is joe digenova going to be the guy who goes in there and says sure, go defend yourself. >> the president likes having people who say i agree, i will add another conspiracy. the president believes he's his own best advocate but he's not had a group of lawyers yet who have told him that so maybe that's what he's essentially trying to hire. i think for the president it's a disaster when he goes in. espec lip when his legal team is submitting documents to that investigative team. you got to wonder, does the president know what's in those documents? because that now is evidence that's going to the mueller team which they're then going to turn around in an interview and go, okay, in a statement you cemented to us, you said the following. let me ask you a follow-on question to that. it can actually entrap him in a weird way when it goes into questioning because we see when the president gets into details, he oftentimes gets into trouble. >> we don't know what britain channel 4 is going to r

i mean, clint made a very, very strong statement. and i'll join the hallelujah chorus in terms of the criticism. i take it one step further. because let's say for the sake of argument there was a strategic reason that trump is reluctant to criticize putin and criticize russia and it would benefit u.s./russia relations. but if you look at what's happening with russia around the world, they're taking advantage of us everywhere, in syria. he made that statement in the room with mohammad bin salman, the saudi crown prince. they were talking critically about reign. who is iran's ally? russia. so i agree with clint's very strong point about him not criticizing russia. if there was some possible benefit that we were getting out of it, i would say maybe there's a good reason for it. but in fact, the russians are saying, who's your daddy? we are. and they're taking advantage of us everywhere around the world. >> ashley, how do they pursue a communications strategy that is anywhere connected to a straight face? trying to be serious about thing

and clint, stay with me for a second. i want to bring you to texas, where there is growing fear across austin, texas, today after yet another package bombing overnight. the fourth to strike the city this month, two victims sustained non-life threatening injuries. investigators believe it could have been triggered by a trip wire, an evolution in the bomb maker's tactics. austin police are working with the fbi. officials say it is not clear whether any of the six bombing victims were themselves targeted. clint, you've worked on joint terrorism task force operations at the fbi. what are they looking at now? this is an extraordinary development. >> yeah, i was at south by southwest last monday when two of the devices went off. you could hear the sirens whirling around town. this is definitely a very serious case and one the public needs to be paying attention to. i mean, this is a sophisticated bom bomb-making effort that seems to follow at least a deliberate pattern for the first three. it targeted people in their homes. it

. >> clint watts, the ambassador, described such a rigorous, proper process. we don't know that rig or wasn't employed in various steps leading up to this. tell me, however, if you're an investigator looking into russian meddling and/or collusion, how do you view press accounts of what happened today? >> you have to ask why over the last two years he takes putin's side before when he was a candidate and now when it comes to bringing up u.s. national interest prepared remarks? i don't doubt at all that general mcmaster probably scoped this extremely well, prepped him for the call. he didn't follow any of it whatever discussions went on beforehand. he did not bring up the attack on british soil with a chemical weapon, a nerve agent. we've gone to war for chemical weapons. he did not bring up -- instead he congratulated putin for an election victory after we just had our election messed with. he owns him. he is doing everything vladimir putin would want to be done, which is undermining u.s. stature around the world and bringing us back to our own country. he has

the talkie is creating his very own gustaf clint it's hard work even for the forger of the century as he's been called. the spirit of course there's a lot of paintings taking an unbelievably long time a good author more than i ever would have thought. i've calculated three or four days for it number one the first i created a study that cost me almost a week then i did another one. in the northwest but i'm still not satisfied with it was to. the imitation self portrait is part of a new project conceived by entrepreneur and art lover christiane thought he's commissioned bell truckie to fill in some of the blank spaces in art history a dream job for a master forger. using the original materials and styles of the artists from each epoch the idea is for him to create a series of key works of the past two thousand years they are to be paintings that would have been milestones today if they had ever been done. oh this picture is in the style of lucas cranach the elder the epiphany of martin luther the story goes that as a young man he was caught in a thunderstorm he prayed to his patron sain

that's where we are now. >> thank you, clint. clint watts, former fbi special agent with joint terrorism task force. before we go, a quick check of the markets. minutes before the close after a volatile day of trading the dow up 600th of a percent. joining me is cnbc's bill griffeth. the focus has been on tech the last couple days. when you look at trade what role has tk tech stocks played? >> very big role, david. this is one of those days where it's so clear where the laggards are in this marjket. just in the last two weeks technology as a group has lost about $500 billion in market value and that's just five companies, most of them that have lost that. alphabet, microsoft, facebook, netflix and apple. also amazon has been a big laggard today as well, down about 5% on word the president was looking to find ways to get them to pay more in internet sales taxes. so, if you're looking for the laggards, that's where they are right now, and we're just looking for new leadership in this market. the dow as you saw there just a fraction

clint, i want to start with you. i asked pete williams this question, you having worked inside the agency, all of the events over the last couple of days, how significant a moment in history is this for the fbi? how are people inside reacting to this? is it viewed as something that is surmountable, that the institution will, you know, absorb and move forward with or is it something that people are worried could fundamentally change the way the country relates to the agency and trusts it? >> i think it's both. for the fbi in itself, it has really battened down the hatcher's. they watched their director and deputy director now be fired. both have been related to incidents in 2016. it's always opaque, not clear exactly as to why this happened. i imagine the agents have more resolve. they're going to do their job very thoroughly and watch it very closely. i really think it's about protecting the institution and making sure they're following the letter of the law. around the country this has damage on the fbi in terms of

is it possible it's just an ethical concern, clint? >> i think it goes to both. what we should look at is if you're a foreign nation, what are the vulnerabilities in the white house right now? and you really got a couple. one of the big ones is they've not divested from their businesses. so this is an angle. when you're looking to influence, you look to compromise, look to influence through money. when you look at kushner or president trump for that matter and they have extensive business interests overseas, you've got loans, you've got finances, you've got many ways to infiltrate them and turn them in your direction. it could be through a loan or it could be through compromising a loan. so this is an avenue we've not really seen before with any sitting u.s. president, and it's a great trajectory. if i was a foreign nation and i wanted to influence the united states, this is the path i would pursue right now. >> right, that is part of the concern that somehow there could be some undue influence. that would be the concern. and part of the read flags that are raise

a disappointing day overcast with outbreaks of rain o'loghlin looks fine and both crusher should or clint ought to be enjoying broad if not sunny would say here on the west coast not so good now the wind is much lighter on sunday the cloud is much the sunday again looks are more bright than dull day. on counting the cost the italian job what the next government has to do when it comes to the economy the first drop breaks a treaty gets a frosty reception in the u.k. plus we'll explain what five g.'s is all about and if it even matches counting the cost at this time on a does it. there's no one way of telling a story a key thing is to tell it right and to be respectful best not to say it is great we have to get to know the person for he tells. them. welcome back without is there an update of the stories making headlines now there are reports that as many as twenty eight people have been killed dozens more wounded in coordinated attacks on the military headquarters and the french embassy and the kenya fastow's capital ouagadougou the united nations has really satellite images from last week

so, clint, often in these russian then respond. they counter our action, which led someone in our afternoon meeting to say what are they going to do, rifle through our election? haven't they done enough already? do we really expect a russia counterresponse to our move? >> we should expect us to do an expulsion themselves. they were literally taunt the west today on twitter saying who should we throw out of the country in return? and we lose in this. russia puts far more spies under the cover of diplomats than the u.s. would do to russia. it can help russia in a way because it looks like he's besieged by the world and being punished for it. and the russian people and immigrants around the world are punished as well because they don't have access of their embassies. if we wanted to go after putin, we would go after oligarchs and they would go back after putin. >> did we just figure out boeing is in everett, washington and, oh, there's a submarine base out there? what's the cover for that seattle story? >> i think it was just a way to

joining me now is clint watts, and jason johnson. so, clint, what do you make of this platelatest round of bully and what looked like a response. jeff sessions you a t s of awe with rod rosenstein? >> i don't agree with a lot of his policies but i like what he is doing. he is following the rule of law an going through a procedure. he has repeatedly said he is not going to be pushed into an investigation if he doesn't believe it is justified. for him to keep walking forward and not quitting, you don't do that. if there are ground for being fired, you do it. he is one of the barriers that's towing the line right now. >> there are a couple of different theories as to why he doesn't quit. march, 2017, session recuses himself. trump calls him an idiot in may. in july, he says he would have picked someone else if he knew he would have recused. in february, he twreeets about s lack of action. jeff sessions, theory one, is that he wants to continue doing the job and theory two is that he is having such a marvelous time persecuting brown peop

that would be different than it was during the clint -- clinton administration. whether the president will be forced to do this, i'm not sure. i think because the bar was set so low, nobody actually cares. donald trump approval ratings are up by 8% in the last four weeks when all of these stories come out. >> highest ratings we saw for president clinton was during the time he wassis he was impeached. >> there is that danger. the president maybe unpopular especially with the left. i don't think there's a appetite to impeach the president over an nda. >> i do agree with that. public opinion is very important. that's something this president has to contend with. >> is that different what they knew about donald trump at the ballot box? >> i don't. i don't think stormy daniels interview really changed minds. the more president continues to try to silence these women and attorney, that's where the court of public opinion comes in play. >> avenatti is playing pr role. >> he's trying to get a fancy show. >> new reaction from president trump to retire supreme court callin

you had scott -- it was him and maybe clint eastwood. that's it. >> i love that the way the republican book of hollywood celebrities is a single sheet of paper double spaced. that's what's great about it. joe concha thanks. wendy join us. >> i think i did. i came in and wear my oscar earrings just for you. >> lovely. >> thank you. >> do you want to name the designer? >> no thank you. i'll keep that to myself. >> you can't seriously claim you enjoyed this show. there was no show in it. >> it was a show. i thought it was very entertaining. something that thes the oscarso do is curtail the time. we had lot of first here. we had jordan peele he won oscar for original screen play. we saw del toro he won for best movie. we see that mexican immigrants are not rapist and criminals. they're oscar winners. >> come on wendy, the great director he said to me, great movies stars are what he call sports. they're fabulous freaks. you can have a great mexican detector and you can have a great french composure. you can have a great canadian editor and ha

i do want to say that clint sings a solo. this was about a man that at 23 was murdered. his last words were, "mom, i wanted to go to college. " hearing those words is amazing. >> reporter: -- >> do you struggle to maintain your composure when you are singing those words? how do you handle that? >> it takes a bit of effort. it really is a vehicle to relate these feelings and help people better understand the issues. as singers, we have an opportunity. we have a responsibility. we have the venue to be able to do that. you kind of pull yourself together and you do what you need to do so that the story can be told. >> reporter: it will be a far cry from what we have seen out and about in san francisco but we appreciate you joining us today in advance of your performance tomorrow. if you would like ticket information, we have that for you. just go to ktvu.com and you will find it in the web links section under the "mornings on 2" tab and you can also find it on our mobile app. the program is called bridges. i'm honored to have you both here. thank you so much. spoke with mike

clint, often in these, russia then responds. they counter our action which led someone in our afternoon meeting to say what are they going to do? rifle through the election? haven't they done enough already? do we expect a russia counter response to our move? >> we expect them to do an expulsion ourselves. they were at what pointing the west saying who should we throw out of the country in return? we ultimately lose in this. russia stacks the deck and put far more spies into foreign countries under the cover of diplomats that even the west would do to russia. it can help putin in a way. it looks like he is besieged by the world. he is taking on the world and being punished for it. the russian people are in many ways punished as well. they don't have access to the embassies. if we wanted to go at putin, we would go at olegarks by putting pressure on them and they will put pressure on putin in the financial system. >> we knew rugs were using office space in seattle. did we figure out that boeing is in washington and there is a sub

clint capello again, you can just see how that is for real. rather, 122-112, six in a row for the houston rockets. it's guns i got again, at the wcc conference championship. danny question mark didn't go so well for your see why you can tonight. josh perkins through five defenders, look at that replay. how does that happen? nine at halftime and put them is cruising in the second half. they are an international collection, killian tilley, the frenchman inside. 22 points and number six in the country, winning the wcc tournament over byu's cougars and exhibition visible. -- down in the desert today got good pitching out of chad minaya, metals and continues to rangers, the three three-game in the setting, the young nick rifle down the right field going to score. they end up winning it by -- 5- 3. the giants were off, one of their old buddies and a guy who is very near and dear to all giant fans was thinking about his old team today, that's kim linthicum, and a texas uniform. look at him with the rangers, a proof that he does still hold the giants

it was him and maybe clint eastwood. >> mark: i love that the way the republican book of hollywood celebrities is a single sheet of paper, double spaced. that's what's great about it. joe concha, thanks. wendy osefo is a democrat strategist and professor. wendy joins us. did you have a better time? >> i think i did. i came in and wear my oscar earrings just for you. >> mark: lovely. >> thank you. >> mark: do you want to name the designer?yo >> no thank you. i'll keep that to myself. >> mark: you can't seriously claim you enjoyed this show. there was no show in it. >> it was a show. i thought it was very entertaining. something that the oscars has to do is curtail the time. four hours. it's taking up a lot of time. we had lot of firsts here. we had jordan peele. he won an oscar for original screenplay. we saw guillermo del toro. he won for best movie. we have f heard the pervasive narrative of mexican immigrants. we see that mexican immigrants are not rapists and criminals.. they're oscar winners. >> mark: come on, wendy. the great director, he said to me, great movies stars are what he called

lot in common with another long-time member of the intelligence community, former fbi special agent clint watts who joined us on this program here last night and got our attention with this comment. >> he owns the president. putin does. whether it's witting or unwitting, he owns him. he's doing everything that vladimir putin would want to be done, which is undermining u.s. stature around the world. >> with that, let's bring in our leadoff panel on this wednesday night. jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press. san none pettypeace, white house correspondent for bloomberg. heidi prisboa, nbc news national correspondent, welcome. a tendency to blame the deep state, and in cases like this, what does that demonstrate? >> that's right. it's a familiar refrain from president trump. what we're hearing today. in the last 24 hours, you know, reporting he's been telling aides and outside advisers, privately saying to them he believes this is yet another conspiracy to undermine his authority and diminish his credibility and that someone on his own staff is trying to embarrass hi

clint watts, former fbi special agent and jill winebanks, former watergate suppression prosecutor. to your reaction not just of the firing of andrew mccabe but number one, because he leaked to reporters and lied about it, without having seen the reporting and, number two, doing so, literally, 24 hours before he would have been vested with his full pension. >> yeah. it's really stunning. i would say this. we don't know what's in the report. maybe there's something incredibly egregious. and at the same point, usually any violation of candor is a much bigger deal than the context. that being said we've seen nothing to address this out in the public and we've seen the president push aggressively and even mention taking his pension. essentially, he would lose his retirement, which makes mccabe's statement that came out very late last night seem so much more believable, which is an entire suppression operation by the president and those closest to him to remove any witnesses to the russia investigation or to the comey firing. i think attorney general sessions should do that immediately,

so they say, "how is your dad, clint eastwood?" >> yeah. and i say, "no, no. you're mistaken. you're mistaken. my father is captain morgan," and then they ask, "what advice does he give you?" and -- do you mind? >> jimmy: no, please. >> i -- i sort of said this to them. i said, "well, he tells every son what -- the best advice." [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: that's captain morgan? >> drink responsibly. >> jimmy: drink responsibly. absolutely. that's your dad, captain morgan. does your dad get a kick out of it? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: does he ever see any of it? >> he likes it. yeah, yeah. he always -- >> jimmy: i want to show everyone a clip here. it is robots fighting monsters. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and it is so much fun. it's you and john boyega. here is scott eastwood in "pacific rim uprising." take a look. >> plasma cannon! >> i think we pissed them off. >> good. >> you remember our old moves? >> hell, yeah. ♪ [ applause ] >> jimmy: there he is right there. captain morgan's son. scott eastwood, everybody!
