relevant oversight committees and watchdogs should continue to find efficiencies and improvements in the recommendations. who is that? that s not even a soft handoff. so where should we look from a homeland security and intelligence standpoint for the next body to come out with definitive action in terms of what happened on january 6th. and it s just not there. and that s what i mean by aniemic. thank you very much donell, and danny and julie, and happy holidays to all of you. after a rollercoaster of a day on wall street, thursday, we are keeping a close eye on the stock exchange. right now, it shows the dow up around 140 points, with less than an hour to go before the markets close for the week. as investors continue to worry about a recession sometime next year. joining me now is cnbc senior analyst and commentator ron insana, it has been a bumpy week to say the least, for stocks and i know you re
