bob: absolutely. they are mostly market practitioners, they have been in our seats, they understand that once disinflationary expectations become embedded, they are hard to root out of the market. i think the markets are in a very perilous position with that. jonathan: final word, george? george: i think the fed has a difficult time to meet or beat market expectations. if draghi could not do it this week with the generous offerings of dovishness, the fed will be challenged to do so. i think it will reinforce the reach for yield strategy. the next point that people start to focus on once we get through next week's data is actually september. it is sort of safe carry, safe reach for yield, set your portfolio by the end of the week. the next point of time is in september. jonathan: let's get to the rapidfire round. quick questions, quick answers. first question, the ecb rate cut in september that most expect to come, 10 basis points, 15, or more? bob: start with 10. marilyn: 10. george: 10. jonathan: the

bob, your take? bob: if i want to nitpick, i could say the revisions brought 2018 sup 3%, 2.5% at the end of the fourth quarter. there is some slowdown there from what was expected. but marilyn is right, a solid number. the fed could not care less. that is not their issue. they are concerned about inflation expectations. jonathan: george? george: if you look for the inflation expectations, they look like they have bottomed and are sort of picking up. we take away from it that it was a relatively healthy number, the consumer looking pretty good. and many of the fed's targets are trending in the right direction. as my colleagues said, it is difficult to justify an aggressive move, but we will see how they comment around it. jonathan: well, gdp today comes in at 2.1%, on the money in terms of the forecast from the federal reserve itself for 2019. you said that inflation looks like it might start to pick up. how so? well, if you look, core cpi looks like it kind of bottomed up. it is starting to trend a

take a look. >> i have no objection to bob mueller personally testifying. >> what about bob mueller? should he be allowed to testify? >> i've already said publicly i have no objection to him. >> i'm joined by former prosecutor glenn kirschner who worked directly for bob mueller in the washington attorney's office. what do you make of mr. barr's shift? >> you know, ari, i see this last-ditch attempt at the bill barr department of justice to try to muzzle bob mueller by sending the letter, the two-page letter that was sent yesterday. i would say it's a letter of do's and don'ts, but it's really just a letter of don'ts. when you read that two-page letter, it's surprising how many prohibitions they could actually cram into just two pages. let's just tick through them really quickly. they say bob mueller, you better stick to the four corners of your report, and here's what you're prohibited from doing. don't talk about grand jury materials. don't talk about redactions. don't talk about ongoing investigations. don't mention uncharged persons. don't talk about executive privilege. don't men

bob: absolutely. they are mostly market practitioners, they have been in our seat, they understand that disinflationary expectations become embedded, they are hard to root out of the market. i think the markets are in a very perilous position with that. george: i think the fed has a difficult time to meet or beat market expectations. if draghi could not do it this week with the generous offerings of dovishness, the fed will be challenged to do so. i think it will reinforce the reach for yield strategy. the next point that people start to focus on once we get through next week's data is actually september. it is sort of safe carry, save yield, set your portfolio by the end of the week. the next point of time is in september. jonathan: let's get to the rapidfire round. yield, set your portfolio by the end of the week. first question, the ecb rate cut in september that most expect to come, 10 basis points, 15, or more? bob: start with 10. marilyn: 10. george: 10. jonathan: the low for the 10 year. one .9

bob: an invalid snapshot, i think. robert: we got a snapshot of house minority leader, kevin macarthy, spoke with nancy this week.na y: you said a short time ago that the chance of -- chants of "send her back" have no place in this country. why it a problem when people chanted but not when the president tweets it? >> the president clarifiedhat he did not tell somebody but talked about the love of the country. nancy: he said they should go back. >> if you want to read his clarification, he talked about the love of this country and said if you don't love this country, you can leave. robert: nancy, what was your takeaway from leader mccarthy and talki other top republicans on capitol hill this week? only four republicans and one independent broke from the president on this house democrats resolution condemning his remarks. nancy: i was startled by his willingness to tie himself in rhetorical knots in order to avoi criticizing theresident. he was clearly uncomfortable with the chant and wanted to get at message out there b

bob mueller sent a letter to the attorney general stating as much, and when bob mueller came out and made his 8, 9 minute statement a couple of months ago, it was just that, a statement without question. now, members of congress will get to ask the questions many americans have had on their minds since the release of the report. 448 pages worth, which let's be frank, most people in the country have not read. this is a chance for democrats to tell a story, and with the help of bob mueller to lay out in detail the cases of obstruction of justice. he said in volume one there was no evidence to support a criminal conspiracy, what about collusion, what about all the instances when the trump campaign welcomed the help of russians, and then line by line, those 12 cases that represented obstruction of justice, did bob mueller view those as obstruction of justice and just that he could not prosecute because of justice department regulations and policy. >> it's going to be interesting is i'll tell you mika, i agree with willie, and the facts bear it out, most americans haven't read this report

bob: absolutely. they are mostly market practitioners, they have been in our seats, they understand that once disinflationary expectations become embedded, they are hard to root out of the market. i think the markets are in a very perilous position with that. jonathan: final word, george? george: i think the fed has a difficult time to meet or beat market expectations. if draghi could not do it this week with the generous offerings of dovishness, the fed will be challenged to do so. i think it will reinforce the reach for yield strategy. the next point that people start to focus on once we get through next week's data is actually september. it is sort of safe carry, save fe reach for yield, set your portfolio by the end of the week. the next point of time is in september. jonathan: let's get to the rapidfire round. quick questions, quick answers. first question, the ecb rate cut in september that most expect to come, 10 basis points, 15, or more? bob: start with 10. marilyn: 10. george: 10. jonathan:

for bob, a new research lab. for autumn, a ance to head her own department >> autumn was not just a rising star she was a shooting star. she was nationally recognized as a leader in her eld at a very young age. >> reporter: but still, something was gnawing at her, a kind oe emotional vacuum shwanted to have another child. by now had her early 40s, she was taking fertility treatments, hormone injections but nothing was happening. was it really hating away at her, tshe wasn't getting pregnant, time was going by? >> yes and, you know, just speaking from experience, fertility treatments are the loneliest place a woman will ever go >> reporter: looking back, her mom, lois, recognizes now some worrisome signs, changes in her daughterin >> i kd of saw that she wasn't herself too much anymore, that she was kind of a little -- what do you call it -- kind of a little down maybe here and there. >> reporter: then in early 2013 the couple tried a new approach to the baby problem a fertility doctor thought the body-building su

bob, your take. bob: if i want to nitpick, i could say the revisions brought gdp sub 3%, 2.5% at the end of the fourth quarter. you average the quarters, it is 2.9%. there is some slowdown there from what was expected. but marilyn is right, a solid number. the fed could not care less. that is not their issue. they are concerned about inflation expectations. jonathan: george. george: if you look forward, the inflation expectations, they look like they have bottomed and picked up. relatively healthy numbers, the consumer looking pretty good. many of the fed's targets seem to be trending in the right direction. as my colleagues have said, it is difficult to justify an aggressive move, but we will see what, you know how they comment , around it. that is the important thing. jonathan: gdp today comes in at 2.1% on the money in terms of the forecast from the federal reserve itself for 2019. for gdp growth. you said inflation looks like it might start to pick up. how so? george: well if you look core , cpi

. >> bob mueller does not understand the burden of proof? i got to keep moving. >> it's your program. let me really quickly, here is the issue. you and i both know that the term "exoneration" is not a legal term of art. that in any case where there is a criminal manner, a prosecutor either moves forward with the prosecution or declines. and this in a sense became a declination and certainly became a declination when it went to the department of justice. but it's your program, your question. >> it certainly in ways looked like a declination, but the president claimed it was total exoneration, putting words in mueller's mouth. today is the first americans have herd mueller say the president was wrong about that. let me show you something that i think is more concerning for your client. you obviously never want to be in a situation where a former prosecutor is suggesting your client committed perjury. take a look at this today. >> isn't it fair to say that the president's written answers were not only inadequate and incomplete, his answers show

we did hear from bob earlier. bob, are you on the line again? >> hello? >> is this bob? >> yes, it is. >> thank you again for calling in. do you have an update possibly on how your daughter is doing or any new information since we last talked? bob, can you hear me? until we circle back with bob again, you're looking at pictures here. this is twitter video of people running in the crowd after shots fired. this is in the last 6:00 hour. so we've been bringing you breaking news of this shooting at the garlic festival. in christmas hill park. we've been talking to some people on the phone, primarily bob whose daughter was fefestival and texted her parents and said there's an emergency. i need to talk to you. they phoned in and had a conversation with her. she was saying they were being escorted out of the grounds, being told to have their hands above their heads so it was hard for her to talk to her father at the time but she did share that she had heard gunshots, that she had seen some injuries. she mentioned a child and there were reports of an active shooter. we've heard

bob: no. and being able to use it as a fuel to run the election around your facilities is just good goingss -- having flaring and use it as a fuel to run electricity around your facilities is just good business. anna: stories seem to be coming around a little more frequently than they were -- tell me about your conversations with investors and how they are evolving. bob: you have a full spread of investors. very good returns on the business side or energy companies when you have a 6% dividend rate, which is hard to get anywhere. very much underpinned. people want to see us move to a sustainable future. we absolutely agree with that. , we are building business models to create lower carbon businesses, but it is a transition. i believe natural gas is so vital to bring down emissions in the world, combined that with renewable energy and that will be a great part of the future. but the world is going to need all forms of energy. it cannot just be a race to renewables. it has to be a race to reduce

>> because you trusted bob mueller to find the answer. >> bob mueller is your boy. >> he's not my boy. >> he's a minted republican. >> let me speak for myself about that. i did the first political check on james comey. i'll start there. he was not a rock ribbed republican. >> i'm talking about mueller. >> bob mueller might be a registered republican but he was a trump hater. someone we call a never trumper. >> he interviewed to be head of the fbi right before he did this. >> yeah, why is there an obstruction of justice to get rid of james comey who he would have replaced? he never brought that up to the president. >> why would bob mueller ask the president the day before he's picked to be the special counsel for the job of fbi director -- >> he was asked to come in to interview. he didn't ask for the job. that's not my understanding. he was asked to come in by a mutual friend. >> you don't come in and talk to the president about being the fbi director unless you have an interest. >> i'm not saying he didn't have an interest. >> if he thought what he had just done to james comey was un

bob: an invalidnahot, i think. robert: we got a snapshot of house minority leader, kevin macarthy, spoke with nancy this week nancy: you said a short time ago that the chance of -- chants of "send her back" have no place in this country. why is it a problem when people t?anted but not when the president tweets >> the president clarified that he did not tell somebody but talked about the love of the country. nancy: he said they should go back. >> if you want to read h clarification, he talked about the love of this country and said if you don't love this country, you can leave. robert: nancy, what was your takeaway from leaderccarthy and talking to other top republicans on capitol hill this week? only four rublicans and one independent broke from the president on this house democrats resolutn condemning his remarks. nancy: i was startled by his willingness to tie himself in rhetorical knots in order tci avoid cring the president. he was clearly uncomfortable with the chant and wanted to get that message out there bu

i said all along that i had -- i would not object to bob going up to testify, but after i said that, he indicated he was not interested in testifying. so i was disappointed to see him subpoenaed because i don't think that serves any purpose, dragging bob mueller up if he, in fact, is going to stick to the report. it seems to me the only reason for doing that is to create some kind of public spectacle. and if bob decides that he doesn't want to be subject to that, then the department of justice would certainly back

bob mueller's job was to report back to the department of justice. his findings. it was not to have a call to action from congress. if that's exactly what he did in the report, and i think that's fair, i think for many americans, that's when he looks like he's getting political. i can't find anything. hey, fellas on the hill, why don't you find something. i watch a lot of media. i read a lot of media. we have covered this issue ad nauseam for two years and there's not a sint ilya of wrongdoing except some believe when trump fired jim comey, that equals obstruction. >> six or seven. >> i don't agree with that. that's a constitutional question about whether or not the president has the ability to fire people that serve at the pleasure of the president. people who don't like that decision making don't have to vote for him. that's what you do. to carry on a mulligan investigation and start all over again with these people who have spent hundreds of thousands on lawyers. >> the money can't be the issue. >> why destroy people to go through the meat grinder one more time

know bob mueller. this is a very dry, just the facts kind of guy who clearly doesn't want to be there. but the message that he's bringing is really important and it's a kind of sign of our times that he can go, he can say the things that he said, write the things that he wrote in that report and all people want to talk about afterwards is the at more feesics of it. look, he went in there and pled both in his press conference weeks ago in the report itself and yesterday for people to take seriously the idea that russia is doing these things and that other countries will do these things, as well. i suppose the good news is that the republican members of the committee who were intent on discrediting mueller and discrediting his findings actually didn't contest the facts of the report at all. they didn't contest what he was saying substantively. the bad news is they also won't act on it and the president does just kind of deny the whole premise down to the clips that you mayed from yesterday. i think we ha

he is going to be questioning bob mueller on wednesday y. want to give you a chance to respond to this breaking news, the letter that we have just received from the associate deputy attorney general. it is to bob mueller and states any testimony must remain in the boundaries of your public report. goes on to say because there is executive privilege could effect many things including decisions made during your investigation. what do you think about this message going to mueller? is this a threat or is this fair and square? >> this isn't the first witness they have attempted to intimidate. it's just the one who has the most credibility and had the most powerful position of any witness dealt with so far. let me just say, this president should be thanking mr. mueller for how he handled this investigation because in the final analysis the special counsel bent over backwards to be fair to this president. he followed d.o.j. regulations and didn't indict him. he refused to take a stance in the report about obstruction because he said since he won't

[laughter] >> bob -- it was no bob mueller's purview, i love that word, i people are looking up purview. >> you will use bailey wick too. >> it was in his realm to investigate the trump tower meeting, oh, my god, where there was a russian lawyer about to give information about dirt on hillary which she never gave, and yet it was not not in his purview to investigate that russian lawyer met with fusion gps, a word he's never heard of, the night before the meeting at trump tower and the night after the meeting at trump tower, oh, not in his purview. >> led the investigation of a president that the purpose was specifically to overthrow this -- this president's attention to remove him from office. as you watched him stumble and stammer the bewildered looks on his face, if you do not take into effect the tool of radical dems, party of hate, two years and continuing with their assault on the president, you could feel sympathy for him but what evil he has done over the course of 2 years, joe. >> this was an finale and i amham for -- am happy for the country that they got to see somebody totall

and bob mueller prepares to face lawmakers. we are two hours away from the former special counsel being sworn in to testify on the findings of his russia report. "morning joe" will have extensive coverage leading to today's hearings, including house judiciary member joe neguse on what he wants to hear from mueller, and andrew mccabe and neil katia will join the conversation. the conversation when i was diagnosed with breast cancer, there was no hesitation, i went straight to ctca. after my mastectomy, it was maddening because i felt part of my identity was being taken away. when you're able to restore what cancer's taken away, you see that transformation firsthand knowing that she had options that she could choose, helped restore hope. my team made me feel like a whole person again. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now. cancer treatment centers of america. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if you

that brings me to a classic bob mueller riddle to keep in mind for next week. what's the difference between bob mueller and a bottle of wine? wine changes, mueller doesn't. we checked these tapes and here's how he swats away hypotheticals and questions every time he doesn't want to answer. >> i hesitate to speculate because i have just a piece of the puzzle also. i would have to check to make absolutely certain. in every investigation particularly a fast-moving investigation, there are steps taken that may not workout. it's very difficult to generalize or to reach some sort of understanding or make progress with that generalization. >> those all sound like basically true statements, but they stop short of what the congressional questioners wanted to know. the point here isn't that mueller's past hearing suggests he's trying to only be evasive or protect anyone, but rather that even when he's sitting on block buster evidence or dramatic stories which you are about to see, his style is almost always just the facts. and that brings me, as i mentioned, to a key par

bob mueller is the one who ers on the side of not commenting and disclosing. it was mueller who stayed quiet while barr released letters and excerpts which mischaracterized the mueller report of about it was released. when barr is demanding less disclosure, it stands out. of course, it was barr's justice department that flat out purnd mueller's top prosecutors not to testify at all. and barr has opined against this week's hearing knock being it as an unnecessary public spectacle. for all this talk about how wednesday's hearing could end up being a or dry or redo, it does appear that people inside the trump administration are still concerned about mueller and his team talking. because even in his careful style, bob mueller was, in one sense, blunt in his last and only public remarks to date, saying, his probe simply did not allow him to conclude donald trump did not commit a crime. >> as set forth in the report after that investigation, if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> and they didn't say so.

. >> now bob, i am going to tell the story about how much bob and i love testifying together. i know you love testifying. [laughter] but bob had a very unique way of doing this and the first time i testified with him he sat there like a choir boy and got removed. i said, you have to learn how to emote a little bit. he said i can't emote, we are trained not to show emotion. i figured i've got to change this. so we sit next to each other and you know how before you start testifying witnesses usually cup their hands and everybody thinks we are saying something profound to each other. bob and i would be in the middle of a testimony and i would cup my hands and say something to mueller like bob, isn't that the dumbest question you've ever heard in your life? shut up. here it comes, bob. swim, bobby, swim. shut up. they would always be bob, are you really going to take that from this guy? yes, senator. i'm not worthy. >> i was appreciative of your comments about testifying. that i will tell you that george has a selective memory. -- wereworked testifying it was true that he would co

bob mueller is somebody who people work with respect immensely. he models behavior and models integrity. squun and one of the things i think is most important for him to today about peter struck and all sorts of allegations made by the president is to forcefully reject those allegations, defend the integrity of the investigation. people need to hear it from bob mueller himself. >> and it's going to be a significant development, laura, when we watch all of this unfold because mueller as we've been saying he didn't want to have to do this but he's been doing it. >> it is. and he didn't want to have to write a letter to william barr saying please present my summaries i gave to you. i think it lays the groundwork to say any statements on the integrity base claim, to defend the honor or career legacy of his team is going to be viewed as him simply trying to preserve himself as opposed to the american people. >> the democrats, they've been practicing, they've been rehearsing. they've had mock hearings. >> you know what they should practice the most? shu

enable bob mueller to walk through the evidence that's in his report. you know, i'm disappointed there is not staff counsel guiding that in a very professional way but i'm convinced that if democrats stick to a script, you know, follow their questions, ask followup questions, and get out of the way and let bob mueller tell the evidence that's in that report, that it will be damning for the president and if the republicans want to go sideways and down every other rabbit hole that you can find, let them do that. they will look foolish in the face of the evidence presented by bob mueller. so i'm not worried at all. i think -- and, by the way, for members of congress who like the public haven't read the report, there are still 24 hours. >> carol, i'm guessing iceberg dead ahead is not in the script but you've got some new reporting where you think you know what might be in there. it is questions around don jr. and why he didn't testify. >> well, look. there's the broad implications of the overall report and what people who are going to be watching tomorrow

bob: i don't want to take credit -- tom: i get that. bob: i attribute that to him. i'm sure i will get any mail from him. the central banks are getting back to the cutting cycle, that is true. net interest margins could be under pressure. i think the banks have gone through a decade of rebuilding their capital buffers and should be able to withstand that. willtes get too low, you need help with central banks -- from central banks. say the germaney two-year will do given the extrapolation over to your low rate call in u.s. and u.k.? i need to get you in trouble. bob: it is just going lower. tom: thank you. bob: ecb rates are -4/10 of a percent. what math gets you to minus three quarters of a percent? people need a safe haven. it is in benchmarks. there are a lot of tracker funds that by it at any kind of level, so they are willing to pay some degree of safe keeping charge for two-year germany. tom: i want to make clear, bob michele has given me going there someday. would go tondstrom three decimal points. nejra: we are talking about the 10 year bund yields and people

doctor bob, what should i take for back pain? before you take anything, i recommend applying topical relievers first. salonpas lidocaine patch blocks pain receptors for effective, non-addictive relief. salonpas lidocaine. patch, roll-on or cream. hisamitsu. while managing your type 2 diabetes- why think about your heart? lower a1c helps, but type 2 diabetes still increases my risk of a fatal cardiovascular event. and that's why there's jardiance- the first type 2 diabetes pill that offers a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who also have known heart disease. it can significantly reduce my risk of dying from a cardiovascular event. and it lowers my a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have s

>> reporter: i am bob redell. we're live in the east bay with one of the most popular fourth of july parades in the bay area, and thousands of people expected to show up here in danville. a live report coming up. >>> and setup is under way for the annual fireworks show in san francisco and i will have the details on that fireworks show coming up. >>> right now at 6::30, taking a live look outside. here's our window over sfo where sunday it will be the busiest day for holiday travel at not just sfo but across the country as well. thank you for joining us on this fourth of july. >> happy fourth of july. we have sparkles for you here today, and kari hall is telling us the sparkles tonight may not be so visible? >> yeah, in san francisco, inland it will be great, nice and clear. a lot of people already out the door and going to line the parade route in danville and it's in the upper 50s, and that's how we start out this morning and then seeing it warm up with mostly sunny skies at 11:00. for tonight, fireworks shows c

bob mueller walked that back. if you're going to be honest about this, the most vulgar tweet out there by a democrat is from michael moore. it's vulgar but it's michael moore. the same token, it's the most honest assessment of today, let it go. >> neil: so what happens now? if you're in the marks, you're looking for some continuity, whatever that can be. it's straight on to the election there. >> straight on to the election. they did the budget this week. it's not the budget that traditional republicans always said that they wanted. every time they got a chance to put one in, it never looks -- >> neil: neither party is very constraint. >> that won't be an issue. mueller won't be an issue. right now looks like it's really clear sailing with respect to the economy and the stock market. it's just a matter of keeping it going to 2020. >> neil: thanks, buddy. charles payne read on that. the president is still talking, too. you know the drill on that. he speaks, they rush the tape back. maybe it's not taped anymore. it'

. >> bob, i am going to tell the story about how much bob and i love testifying together. mr. attorney general, i know you love testifying. but bob had a very unique way of doing this. the first time, he sat there like a choir boy and never moved. and i said, you have to learn how to emote a little bit. he said i can't, i've been trained as a prosecutor. so i figured i got to change this. we would sit next to each other. you know how before you start testifying, witnesses usually ds, everybody thinks we are saying something profound to each other. bob and i would be in the middle of a testimony and i would say something to him like, bob, isn't that the dumbest question? we will leave washington journal at this point, you can see it in its entirety on our website.

bob mueller, the mueller report, was not authored by bob mueller, the investigation was not run by bob mueller, it was run by these deputies, and the fact of the matter is, this is what -- rudy and i know this, and her colleagues, we know this, they did not abide by the so-called olc opinion, as rudy just said. untiler the summer of last year, so this nonsense that they knew from the beginning -- that is why he had to correct it because it wasn't true. so whether it was intentional or unintentional, irrelevant. you can't defend the indefensible. >> sean: would this be a fair characterization? we now found out last week that all the hiring was done by andrew weissmann, who has a history of prosecutorial misconduct, withholding exculpatory evidence, we can all read -- mr. mayor, we can read the grade book by sidney powell, "license july -- >> we kind of memorized it. >> sean: tens thousands of americans lost their job, four people to jail, he was in charge of everything. here's my point. he's the biggest, most corrupt prosecutor he could have with the most abusively biased, one-sided dem

>> my thought is i have to disagree with bob mueller. when i read volume 2, it was designed for congress. he turned himself into an independent counsel, with the reporting obligation to the congress of the united states. >> martha: ken, as i turn to the panel here can be found 13 charges of impeachment against bill clinton? is that correct? >> 11. >> martha: 11. it's interesting -- let me go to the panel now, andy mccarthy -- it's interesting, he said he didn't want to talk about impeachment. "impeachment was not a part of my purview." it's interesting to note, would he go back to the ken starr investigation, there were 11 articles of impeachment found. >> not only that, but in his statement on may 29th, which i think he teed up -- he was trained to help the committee, he teed up impeachment for them they are better than he does in his report. he is very clear, saying that in our system it's not for federal prosecutors to be the ones to regulate misconduct by the president. that the constitution as another vehicle for that, and another l

bob, are you there? >> yes, i'm here. >> bob, thank you. can you tell us your location and your relation? are you at the festival? >> no, my daughter is relaying the information to us from the festival. she's there. >> so you're the one who reached out to us on social media. thank you for calling in. tell us what she told you. >> right now the police had put the ones they could find, put them into hiding at the amphitheater and trying to get them on the trailer to take them over to las animas elementary school but she called back and said she's in a panic. i guess apparently they said originally 11 people were down, now they've raised it to 20 down. she said she walked past a 3-year-old who was down on the ground. >> we'd seen that report. >> the shooters are still active. she says there was multiple, at least two, maybe three shooters. >> what a frightening phone call for you to get. if you need to get more information, please don't hesitate. but we did want to make sure we can verify what's happening there and tell us, when she called in,

bob, let me start with you. you know robert mueller better than anybody on the show tonight, all of the doj guidance, he should stay within the bound of the report, his apparent intention to stay within the bounds of the report, his reluctance to testify in the first place. you know him well. do you expect any surprises tomorrow? >> no. thanks, steve. i don't expect any surprises. it doesn't surprise me at all he asked for guidance from doj. he looked at this hearing like any hearing he testified at. he's a by the book guy. for 12 years i worked for him, ran numerous high-level investigations. that's one thing bob will give you every time is consistency. i think he'll go in there, stick to the four corners of his report. i do think it's a good opportunity for congress to walk the american people through that report. i'm probably one of the few guys that have read it page to page. one, because i had to testify about it in congress about a month ago. but two, also to understand the investigation. there's a lot of

mueller, watching bob mueller than i do, but the two-year public perception of bob mueller -- i mean, what's difficult, you have to step back. bob mueller never spoke with very few exceptions in two years. it wasn't like -- he wasn't seen in public much, don, so there was sort of a sphinx like who this guy was portrayed as sort of the uber prosecutor. he's got the receipts. and certainly in the house judiciary committee a little less so in the intelligence committee, but certainly that perception didn't marry up with what you were watching. it doesn't take away from what he said -- >> exactly. i agree with that. but it was jarring when you looked just even in the early to mid-2000s, some of the testimony he had and watching the performance today, that was the sort of juxtaposition that i was -- >> people i talked to today that know mueller, worked with mueller, people at the fbi, retired now, close to him were very surprised. >> yeah. >> no one expected this today and i think that is what is in the end is going to be partially the story line here. we were expecting a much more crisp

vonnie quinn asked the ceo bob swan about the forecast for china. bob: china is a big market for us. we have been operating in the country for 30 years. we have important customer relationships. a global supply chain. we have a really strong employee base. it is a big and important market for us. what we have seen over the last several quarters is two things. one, overall, demand has slowed as our customers have digested fairly significant purchases last year. secondly, we saw a bit of an acceleration of demand heading into the second half in the second quarter because the fears of the potential of additional tariffs being imposed. those combination of factors have china, an important market for us, being a little slower this year than what we had anticipated at the beginning. guy: good morning. idging by the analysts' notes have read, the concern seems to be that amd will put your gross margin under pressure. what is your answer to that? bob: first, we have a great lineup of products as we go into the second half of the year. for our data center bu

i did not expect to see that side of bob mueller today. that's a different man than i used to brief. however this was the bob mueller that we expected in terms of what he did with the substance. he promised us he was going to stay within the report as much as possible. he said i don't know to testify read the report everything is in the report. if i testify it will be the report. this is my testimony. and he generally stuck to that. so while his delivery was halting and while he had problems sometimes getting the right word to characterize what he said. >> didn't have facility with the written word of what was on what page and what it concluded. >> right that prevented him at times from doing what i expect he would have done back at fbi director where he would give a no, but this. sometimes that pause led the member who was on a very tight time schedule to jump right in with the next question and made him look more hesitant to answer than he was. >> you were surprised he didn't push back more aen. >> particularly at the beginning of the ju

bob, the real bob agrees with tamika. >> you have to educate yourself. unless you get someone on phone or in person face-to-face, i wouldn't believe what you see on the internet. >> reporter: so let's just say it one more time. no matter what you find online, bob redell is not in the market for a virtual assistant. >> i'm not hiring anyone. i don't even have a lawn person. i don't even have a pool person. i don't hire. i do the work myself. >> bob was caught offguard. every once in a while, search your own name. see what comes up. take one extra step and search your profile images too. right click on them. see if your mug is being used anywhere else. if it is, take action immediately. contact the site where you found it and tell them to take it down. if you don't get the results you want, consider getting an attorney involved. call us with your consumer tips or online at nbcbayarea.com. /responds. >>> still to come, an unusual and very cute find on the highway. an officer jumps into action. we have the details for you. >>> plus -- >> we've got great weat

because after all it's bob mueller's day. but nevertheless republicans pushed back also on the request, underscoring the tensions ahead of tomorrow's very high stakes hearing. now moments ago we had a chance to talk to the house judiciary committee chairman about his expectations ahead of tomorrow. and he believes what mueller needs to do is lay out what's in the report and undercut what the attorney general and the president have been saying. >> i hope that tomorrow -- as i've said before -- mueller investigation revealed a lot of conduct by the president which the american people should be aware of. the president and the attorney general have systematically lied that what was in the report they said no obstruction or no inclusion. totally exonerated all three statements not true. it's important the american people understand what was in that report. and that will o from there. >> what's the risk tomorrow -- the risk -- >> well the question is where do they go from there? i asked the chairman of the committee whether or not

bob mueller wouldn't talk about that possibility. yet democrats, a lot of them, point to this as this road map. where do you think that stands today as opposed to yesterday? >> just about where we were. i certainly don't think, as i think a number of us have said, that the ball, for those that favor impeachment and dog gone it, made their plot fails. because one of the things that adam schiff said that is so relevant is we're 80 days from the first votes in a presidential election year. so allow this process to work. it's one of the reasons that the politics of impeachment just are not working out, even with the president's unfavorables being higher than he would like going to a re-elect year, the sentiment in favor of impeaching him for his ethics and that's what we heard today, was that this afternoon, the ethics, the morality, the greed, the other considerations didn't justify even launch an impeachment inquiry. we were not hearing about there's definite proof of crime as there was during the clinton investigation. >> all right. t
