The dow reversing course after yesterdays rally. The dow seeing the biggest drop since beginning of september. Nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange. Nicole, it recovered. I thought it would go into double digits instead of triple digits. It didnt do that but it recovered nicely. Were down 112 points. You know weve been hitting one record after another. Yesterday we had a great day. Were looking at seven straight months of gains for the Dow Jones Industrial average, for month of october were up 4 . There has been profittaking on technology and some of the winners. Taking a look at the dow names that came under pressure. We did watch General Electric and boeing. Really General Electric has been a big story. It is down 10 this week, new lows, multiyear lows. Morgan stanley pulled it out of their unit for dividendpaying stocks, for their Wealth Management unit. That was not good news there. It hit a new low. Closed at 21. 50. Boeing came under pressure. They are still taking a charge on the Tanker Program and Quarterly Earnings fell. That was under pressure. Another group of movers was the Airline Stocks in the transportation index. Look at some of these, Alaska Airlines is one that dragged the whole thing down, down 13 . It was on the quarter, just not doing as well in quarterly revenue, unit revenue for passengers. Took down the whole group. Big picture. Record territory, a little bit of a breather. Traders say that is all right. David a little bit of a breather. Thank you, nicole. Melissa. Melissa funded by the clinton camp, President Trump slamming Hillary Clinton and the dnc following the bombshell revelation that it was actually her campaign that funded the salacious antitrump dossier. Who knew. Blake burman live at the white house with the latest. Break it down, blake. Reporter President Trump saying latest revelation that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National committee funded fusion gps dossier and quote, President Trump said it was a disgrace. That was a word he used twice at the white house earlier this afternoon as he sat down with lou dobbs. Many members of the Clinton Campaign said there was no absolutely no connection between themselves and this dossier. That was before this Washington Post report. The president saying today, in his interview with lou dobbs, he thinks the clinton team, what is left of it, is now trying to backtrack. You know it is very interesting. She denied it. Her own people denied it. Everybody denied it. Theyre sort of scooting around what to say. So they spent, if you think of it, almost 6 million on Something Like that, and i think, honestly i just think it is a disgrace. Reporter however last night the top spokesperson for the Clinton Campaign, brian fallon tweeted out this as his initial reaction and i quote. I regret i didnt know about Christopher Steeles hiring preelection. If i had i would have volunteered to go to europe to try to help him. Money for this dossier actually started flowing during the republican primary. It is believed quite possibly a republican started this whole thing. President trump as he left the white house on the south lawn today was asked, who he thinks that might been . I think i would know, but lets find out who it is. Im sure that will come out. Reporter do you have any idea . I think i would have, if i were to guess, i have one name in mind. It will probably be revealed. Reporter being a bit coy after that, when the Clinton Campaign and dnc jumped in. Trey gowdy, congressman on capitol hill, he wants to see whether or not the doj or the fbi relied on this dossier to launch the russia investigation. David, melissa, back to you. Melissa boy, that raises a lot of questions, blake, thank you so much. Here to help through some of them, devin nunez, House Intelligence Committee chairman. Lets start with the idea why did it take the Washington Post for to us figure this out . There were folks along the way said as we continue down the trail and looking at dossier and russian interference well find connections to the clinton camp. Why did it take the Washington Post for that to come out . I think it is clear fusion gps or the democrats leaked it to the Washington Post because they knew this would come out eventually. We have subpoenas waiting. Theyre continuing to enforced. They invoked their fifth amendment rights the week before. My guess is they leaked it. There is still a lot more to come. Im sure, these are favorable reporters that they leak this to. These are the goto people for the Obama Administration, for the Clinton Campaign people. This is probably the most favorable line that they will get from any reporters. Melissa yeah. But well see. Well see what happens because were continuing to fight here in the house of representatives to get all of the information as to who paid for this dossier and also, who used the dossier. Did the fbi or the doj use this dossier for anything in terms of any types of investigations . That would be a major problem with that happened. Melissa fusion gps is a company that we know russian president Vladmir Putin has used to dig up dirt, whether true or false, or smear or maligned his own enemies. I mean that includes Sergey Magnitsky. Does this prove collusion between the clintons or the dnc and russia . By proxy or just a coincidence they all used the same smear firm . Those are some of the questions we want answered. We dont know yet, whether or not russians paid fusion gps, obviously we would like to know that . Very much an important part of our investigation, to get to the bottom of that. So look, were continuing to ask these questions, and were continuing to get stonewalled, not just by fusion gps. Were also having problems, speaker of the house this morning called on doj and fbi to get us the information that weve been asking for that we subpoenaed for over two months regarding this dossier. And so look, this is starting to eventually, the truth will get its boots on. Were hoping that it happens sooner rather than later. Melissa if the clinton camp and dnc did in fact pay for at least a portion of this, and then this information, which ended up being debunked, was used to get surveillance and wire approval, what does that mean to you . This is lot of concerns my colleagues and i have had for many years. Melissa what would that mean . What were repercussions mean . At what level . If it was primary evidence, that would be a big problem for a lot of americans. This should send shivers up peoples spine if this was used, if this dossier was used for anything period. Because look, if this is, this is what happens in banana republics. Melissa right. People use, they use the Intelligence Services to go get information be, or they give information to the Intelligence Services to start investigation into the opposition party. You can only imagine if the shoe was on the other foot what would have happened. Melissa it is stuff that ended up not being true. That is one of the most important things about this. There is opo research, then there is Smear Campaigns. If this is american money and or russian money working together to create a Smear Campaign, thats horrible, but in that Smear Campaign was used to spy on an opponent during the campaign this is a huge problem for our democracy, is it not . Absolutely. As i said, last week in california, there is more evidence today of democrats colluding with russians than there are with trump colluding with russians. I said it last week. Every week that goes by we have more and more information that leads that way, leads in that direction. That is why it is important that all of these investigations get to the bottom of what actually happened but at this point, we dont see any evidence of collusion with the Trump Campaign. Melissa if what i described is what happened, were not saying that, were saying that this is what needs to be investigated because theres evidence pointing in the direction that at least needs to be investigated, does anyone go to jail for that . Were in a uncharted territory then. So we cant jump to conclusions. That is why we need all the facts. We need all the information from fusion gps. We need all the information from the fbi and doj. Once we have all the documents, all of that evidence, we can start to analyze, did something, did someone break the law . Was it an abuse of power . Do laws need to be changed. Remember, i want to make sure viewers know, this is information that the House Intelligence Committee asked for in march, in march. Were now almost to november. So this is, i think the longer the intelligence agencies wait to give congress the information, the worse it is going to get for them if in fact this dossier was used as a tool to do surveillance and spy on opposing political campaigns. Melissa sir, that is what is next. Youre demanding the documents, you need to see them. Then you bring people in order to question them. That is what we should look for next, those of us interested in this story . That would be logical place to go, yes. Melissa congressman, i hope you will come back as things develop, because obviously there is a lot of very concerning things here that americans want to know about. Yeah. Also tax reform. I know you will talk about later on your show. Melissa that is our favorite thing on the show. Were 100 focused on tax reform. What were you saying . This is important about i can making the economy boom. Were glad youre covering it. It is mundane topic but melissa not to us. Not to us. It is not mundane. It is very important. Thank for coming on. I appreciate it. Melissa catch the full interview with President Trump and lou dobbs. They will cover all of these topics, coming up tonight at 7 00 p. M. On fox business. David wow. Melissa can you believe it, to your credit you said a long time ago they need to find out to pay for the dossier. That is really important. Youve been saying that forever. David follow the money, one of the starting points in journalism. Melissa and for our network. David fusion gps, the people came out with this false document on trump never registered as a foreign agent. If in fact they were paid by the russians somehow, somebody is going to have to go to jail for that because youre not allowed to do that. Can not work for a Foreign Government and not register as foreign agent. This is very critical. You made the main point, the overlap of Opposition Research from a Democratic Party working with a federal age sixer the fbi, working then with the media, all three of whom worked together to get trump is a scary thing to happen in democracy like ours. A lot of people thought we got away from that in water gate but were back into it. Melissa god forbid they used that information to obtain wiretaps or look for information. That should terrify everyone of you out there listening to this. That crosses intohat very scary territory david eve beenhere befor ironicallyith a republica administtion. This is demrat. It can hapn either way. It is bipartisan. We have to track it down. Thank god for nunez doing his work. Getting you the tax cut by end of the year. We told the congressman how important it is. The house is preparing to vote on the Senate Budget tomorrow. That will pave the way for meaningful tax reform. Fox businesss Connell Mcshane is on capitol hill. Reporter the big vote is tomorrow and should speed up the process. Talking to republicans or devin nunez or anybody else, they keep insisting to us they can get this thing passed, by this thing we mean tax reform, entire bill before thanksgiving. That being said, very interesting comments from the powerful house ways and Means Committee, at an event here in washington, d. C. Talking about details that need to be worked out. Talked about 401 k plans. The president tweeted there would be no change in the amount of money that americans can contribute taxfree to their 401 k retirement plans. Chairman brady at the event said, im quoting now, we think in tax reform, we can create incentives for americans to save more and save sooner. Here is the key part. We are exploring a number of ideas in those areas. That led to this response from the president. 401 k s to mean are very important. Theyre important because that is one of the great benefits of the middle class. I didnt want that to go too far because i ended it very quickly. There are certain elements of deals you dont want to negotiate it. 401 k s, kevin knows it, i think kevin brady is fantastic, he knows how important 401 k s are. It wasnt just 401 k s brady talked about, he is talking about the state and local deduction but there are no details there. A lot of details need to be worked out. Tax writing committees are sticking to this timeline we put up on the screen. You mentioned the budget. Next week, wednesday the 1st, we should see a bill introduced to the house. Following week, ways and means marks it up. Well week after that, well ahead of thanks giving. That is ambitious timeline. They think they can get it done before thanksgiving by end of the year. David sounds good to melissa and me. Of the thanks, connell. Lefts bring in steve cortes, spokesman for the Trump Campaign and robert wolf, advisor to president obama. Both are fox news contributors. Steve, simple question, will for owe one ks be left alone . Yes and they should be Crystal Clear on that. David he said he will not bargain on the white house lawn. Everything is open for negotiation but i didnt sense that crystal clarity that you did . Well look, to me it was Crystal Clear, but fine. Regardless, should they be left alone . Of course they should. This is one of the few gifts, i shouldnt say exists, one of the few allowances for middle class taxpayers. David thats right. People who dont necessarily want to rely on Social Security, we all know long term Social Security is not viable. They want to provide for their own retirement this is a way to do it without the government interfering, with government taxing their savings. David yeah. This has to be maintained. This is foundational principle. David robert, we dont have much time. By the way the president s Plane Air Force one, arriving in dallas. If he comes out and says something well take it live. Steve said it is not a gift, but our money, 18,000 a year for under 50. 23,000 for those over 50, how much you can put in taxfree. This is very big one for the middle class. Do you think it will remain . Robert . I dont think it will remain. I dont think this is tax reform. This is a tax cut. I think they will keep savings. I wasnt sure which way you asked me the question. I dont think they will touch retirement savings. David theyre not going to touch foreowe 401 k s. They will not touch state tax deduction. They will decide what based on gdp and models show every next 10 years. I dont think the house bill has a shot passing the senate. At end. Day they have to work on what amount of deficit they can accept. David they should be working thats for damn sure. Robert, steve, we have all the breaking news. We have to leave it at that thanks for coming in. Appreciate it. Melissa. Melissa Hillary Clinton is not only one with email scandal. A new smoking gun revealed from eric holder. Texas attorney general ken paxton sounds off on a new revelation. David airlines warning passengers traveling to the u. S. To get to the airport early. You will want to hear why. Melissa Mainstream Media caught trumpeting a nasty antitrump story that turned out to be pure election propaganda, bought and paid for by Hillary Clintons election campaign. Can the media ever live this one down . Howard kurtz on this coming up great tasting beverages with less sugar or no sugar at all. Smaller portion sizes, clear calorie labels, and reminders to think balance. Because we know mom wants whats best. More beverage choices, smaller portions, less sugar. Balanceus. Org ca yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can well im gone can i kick it . To all the people who can quest like a tribe does. David the media caught again, when this bc ununiversal website buzzfeed came out with a trump dossier, the media ate it up, just before the president s inauguration in january. Turns out the media fell for a fallacious bit of propaganda largely paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National committee. How do they recover . Here is now howie kurtz, mediabuzz host and fox news analyst. They have a lot of their egg on their face. Look how this broke, cnn broke the story, this is unsubstaniated do i sy a. Well not substantiate it. Buzzfeed published it, had salacious allegations, got a lot of criticism over the organizations who were shopped this things but over time it seeped into the media discourse. David the author of this, authored part of it a lot of it is Glen Simpsons fusion gps about which congressman nunez was talking about, finding out whether it was paid by the russians for some of this material. Clearly wherever he went, our own producer pamela brown saw him in aspen this summer, the media was in love with the guy. He became sort of a regular source for the media. There is a picture of him when he was in aspen. He is essentially a smear merchant. He has done it to people like Thor Halverson from venezuela. He did it with Sergey Magnitsky after he was killed in a russian prison, he tried to smear this guy even when he was dead. So the press knew where this guy was coming from. Well, glen simpson obviously has a lot of contacts in the media, he is a former wall street journal reporter. I will say Opposition Research isnt pretty. A lost campaigns do it. That is why he got paid a lot of money to have that firm. Fusion gps has not answer ad lot of questions about this. David the media, howie, the media never answered the key question who paid for this dossier . By the way looking at donald trump. Live pictures. He just arrived in dallas. He will survey some of damage in hurricanes this summer. He will make a speech well cover later. Kimberly strassel of the wall street journal, howie, saw this coming. She realize in fact the media was not doing Due Diligence finding out who paid for the trump dossier. Here is what she said back in july. What if it was the Democratic National committee or Hillary Clinton campaign . What if that money flowed from a political entity on the left to private law firm, to fusion, to a british speaking and to russian sources. That turns out pretty much the way it happened. Right there is difference between speculating about the possibility and nailing it down. It may well be there was not much journalistic effort to find this out because so much media firepower was aimed at donald trump and allegations of collusion. I have to credit the Washington Post reporting the story. It has gotten a lot of coverage. It raise as new set of questions who leaked this . Who were sources. Were russians acted as sources. David howie, i hate to do this. This is president of the United States. I wonder if there is any sound we have. I saw microphones. See if we listen in what the president is saying. [shouting] thank you, everybody. [cheering] david were expecting to hear more from the president later on his trip to texas, surveying damage from the hurricane. Well be right back. Think again. Its time to shake up your lineup. The alerian mlp etf can diversify your equity portfolio and add potential income. Bring amlp into the game. Before investing, consider the Funds Investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Read the prospectus carefully at alpsfunds. Com amlp david we have breaking news. President trump is in dallas, texas. He there to receive update on the hurricane damage and he is there also for a fundraiser. He right there now just schmoozing with the crowd. Well keep an eye on the story. Melissa moving a third Aircraft Carrier group if the western pacific as tensions continue to rise with north korea, and a key american ally japan sounding alarm bells saying that the threat from the rogue regime is unprecedented, critical and imminent. As President Trump gets ready for the first trip to the region next month. Here is ralph peters, retired lieutenant colonel, fox news strategic analyst. Sir, thank you so much for joining us. Always great to be with you, melissa. Melissa what do you think of those words . I dont know which of them is most frightening imminent threat, japan saying that . Japan is certainly a lot closer to the problem than we are. You already had two Missile Launch muchs over japan which is, its a gray area whether or not that constitutes an act of war. The japanese are so worried, that, since 1947 they have clung to their mcarthur era conestution which is a pacifist constitution. Japan would never again buy offensive arms and wage wars of aggression. Now Prime Minister abe, just reelected handily wants to change the constitution to be better able to defend japan. He wants to buy offensive weapons, because the best defense is a good offense. The japanese are definitely worried. This is Seismic Shift in east asia and all the parts interlock. Melissa the president is heading to the region now. He was asked today, what he might do when he gets there, if he would go to the dmz. Listen to this. Reporter dmz, are you going, yes or no. I would rather not say but you will be surprised. You will be surprised. Melissa this is the Demilitarized Zone of course for our viewers out there dont know, which is border between north and south korea. Very heavily Demilitarized Zone. Melissa very ironic, like jumbo shrimp. Do you think he should go . Do you think he will go . Obviously his decision but i think it would be a very powerful symbol for him to stand, looking into and across the Demilitarized Zone into north korea. If i had to bet he probably will unless the military vetos the idea on security grounds. Right now were trying to send signals. That is why you have three carrier battle groups, thee carriers converging in east asia. Actually, slightly manipulated transit where one was on its way to the persian gulf, another on its way home. Getting three of them in theater, you present a visual message. Were sending air force f35s to augment marine f35s in japan, our latest multirole aircraft. Were practicing or analyzing evacuation of u. S. Civilians in time of crisis from south korea. All of these things have two purposes. One is to be prepared, generally prepared for any eventuality. That is long, slow build up, and a lot more meat and potatoes than we have in the theater. The other reason, let north korea know were serious. I think jim mattis is doing a very good job balancing those. Melissa yeah. Lieutenant colonel ralph peters, thank you for joining us. Thank you. David are you missing Home Deliveries . Amazon thinks they found a solution. Amazon, require as lot of trust on your part frankly. It will allow couriers to drop off packages inside of your home. Paired with the companys cloud cam. Customers view the delivery when complete. Notifications when the door is locked. Apparently letting somebody in. The Service Becomes available november 8th in 37 cities. It comes with a price tag of 250 bucks. I dont know if i trust the Delivery Service that much. Far be it from me to second guess amazon. They have done just about everything right. Melissa uber said, would you jump into a car of a stranger that offered you a ride . Who knows . Smoking gun email. The Obama Justice department has long been accused steering Settlement Funds away from conservatives. Congress says they can prove it. Texas attorney general ken paxton sounds off next. David pushing forward to the tax reform ahead of the crucial vote on the senateapproved budget. New york republican congressman mike kelly is coming up. Our recent online sales success seems a little. Strange . Nk na. Ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. Theyre affordable and fast. Maybe too affordable and fast. What if. People arent buying these books online, but they are buying them to protect their secrets . . hi bill. If that is your real name. Its william actually. Hmph affordable, fast fedex ground. From godaddy in fact, 68 of people who have built their. Website using gocentral, did it in under an hour, and you can too. Build a better website in under an hour. With gocentral from godaddy. David a smoking gun email discovered by the House Judiciary Committee showing that the Obama Justice department actively tried to prevent settlement payouts from going to conservative groups, steering those settlements instead to liberal groups. One person who is upset with all this, Texas Attorney general ken paxton. He joins us now. General paxton, good to see you. You dont often find a smoking gun in these investigations but you did this time. I want to read an email from an Obama Justice Department Email from an acting senior counselor for access to justice this was from july 2014. It says, concerns include not allowing city and i, assume that is citibank, to pick a statewide intermediary like Pacific Legal foundation which does conservative propertyrights legal services. So when a company was fined by the Obama Justice department, they would tack on to the fine, payments to liberal groups but steered them away from conservative groups. What are you going to do about that . That is pretty outrageous. You will see Congress Pass legislation to stop this Going Forward in the future. Attorney general sessions already stopped this at the at the Justice Department in june or july. Hopefully congress with legislation pushed by representative goodlatte will stop this from happening again. David another example, gibson guitars had to pay a big fine to the government for stuff that was disputed by a lot of people to the Obama Administration. 50,000 they paid out went to National Wildlife foundation. Had nothing to do with what they were fined for. Bank of america had to pay millions of fines in the financial crisis. They were forced to give hundred of thousands to la raza, urban league and other liberal groups. This is campaign by the Obama Administration to feed into the liberal nonprofits. Absolutely. Youre talking apparently billions of dollars. I have seen up to 6 billion. Not only are they steering it to liberal groups, and not conservative groups, they are taking money from victims. They were incentivizing paying out sums of money to liberal groups, versus paying victims of these settlements. David wow. What i dont understand is, why dont you just use the cash that the government gets from these fines to pay off the debt . Very simple. Well that is the way the settlement agreements are supposed to work. This was a way of endrunning congress. If congress would not fund these groups, they would endrun it with bureaucrats in department of justice Fund Projects congress is supposed to be in charge of funding. David general paxton, something near and dear to your heart is illegal immigration. It is at a 45year low, according to acting chief of u. S Customs Border protection. I guess messaging by President Trump, we dont have the wall yet, the messaging of beefing up security had an effect. The messaging has been excellent. It is more than that. It is letting President Trump letting Border Patrol agents and customs officers to do their job. I have spoken to the groups along the border, each time i talk to them theyre grateful for the opportunity to do their job. They were not allowed to do that over the previous eight years. David how were they stopped from doing their job . They were basically just not allowed to arrest the people coming across the border. There were many people they let through. And, i have just met with them privately. They are grateful. That is why the numbers are down. Theyre doing their jobs. Theyre allowed to do their job. Theyre encouraged to do their jobs. That is why numbers are coming down. David extraordinary, it wasnt done before. General paxton, thanks for coming in appreciate it. Have a great day. Melissa the wait is almost over. The Jfk Assassination files are being released tomorrow. The president weighing in moments ago, tweeting quote, long anticipated release the jfk files will take place tomorrow. So interesting.

Melissa President Trump rolling out another executive order calling for toughing vetting procedures, when it comes to people trying to enter the United States. This as his fourmonth ban on refugees comes to a close. Rich edson, fox news correspondent is live from the state department with the details. Rich . Reporter good afternoon, melissa.

Homeland can exploit for destructive purposes. There are open. S to the rules. They say already the United States has very rigorous lengthy process for refugees and vetting this only delays the process even further for those most in need. Melissa, back to you.
