To pay for the border wall. Now Senate LeaderChuck Schumer is back out of the deal. More violent offenders to the u. S. All because its feeling the heat of the trump crackdown. More stunning revelations involving peter strzok, the top fbi investigator. He may have expressed concern about joining Robert MuellersRussia Probe Team because there was nothing there. Evidence of more bias, well have the messages and more on the missing messages. Google has an actual secret Speech Police. Agencies around the world monitoring youtube for the socalled explicit content. Coming up, well speak to a guest who says theyre going after conservatives. Well explain and break it down. We have an allstar guest lineup for you including ben stein, former trump 2016 Deputy Campaign manager david bossie. Author of your kids are your own fault. I love it. Larry winget and dr. Jeanette. Politics and your money. Weve got you covered as always. Im ashley webster, risk reward starts right now. What the president did clearly worked. The votes came in 8118. I would say the numbers are are much more in the president s favor than in senator schumers favor. Im not sure what other positive things came out of this weekend for democrats. The dow closing in the red, but no big deal. Down three points to 26,210. Still a remarkable level. The nasdaq and s p, well, ending at record highs again as netflix surged today. More on that in a moment. But first, more u. S. Companies giving back thanks to those new gop tax cuts. Verizon announcing today it is spreading the wealth giving almost all of its 155,000 employees 50 shares of verizon stock. And media giant disney saying it will give 125,000 employees a onetime, 1,000 cash bonus and invest in a whopping 50 million into Education Funding program. Plus, bigtime wall street Bank Jpmorgan chase unveiling 20 billion Investment Plan to hike wages for 22 hows employees by average of 10 . Theyre going to hire 4,000 employees and open up to 400 chase branches. All three stocks, verizon, disney and jpmorgan closing the day in the red. Down less than 1 each. There you have it, down slightly on the day. Joining me now, our good friend, economist and author of the capitalist code, ben stein is with us. As always. Thank you for joining us. What do you think of the big businesses taking advantage of the gop tax cuts, of course, but are giving it back to employees . Its not just a token, right . This is real, real money for real people. Its very much real money for real people. And i have to say i was one of the cynics about the tax break and did not think it was going to work out as well as it worked out. Its working fantastically well. Im extremely impressed with secretary mnuchin, the secretary of treasury and couldnt dream it worked out so well and so quickly. Its a great, great thing, as for mrs. Pelosi calling them pathetic crumbs, ill have some of the crumbs. I will as well. Ben. White house chief economic adviser gary cohn speaking moments ago. Listen to this. First question, as far as economic growth, we just had a litany of businesses that are going to give back to the American People, but isnt it unfair to give the president credit for that . They already had the money in the coffers, right . They would have not turned it loose, otherwise . And i had a second question for him. I would disagree with the premise, completely. You know, look, if they had their money in the coffers, they could have done it last year, the year before, the year before, it seem thes like, not seems like, since we have passed the tax reform plan, all of these announcements have been made and if you look specifically at the words in most of these press releases, all of them are talking about the regulatory relief which we saw in the jpmorgan announcement, and weve seen the tax plan mentioned directly that companies now feel more comfortable about the economic position theyre in. They feel better about the u. S. Economy, they feel more confident about their earnings and feel like the lower tax rate allows them to share more of their potential earnings with their employees. So i think theres 100 correlation between what weve seen these almost close to 200 companies do and what we have done from a regulatory standpoint and more of the tax policy standpoint. I think gary cohn showed a lot of restraint there. The premise was they have the money anyway, the money was already in the coffers. That shows misunderstanding of the Economic Impact of the tax cuts. These companies have cited that the tax reform every time they hand out the bonuses and stock and everything else. Right, well the companies, the American Companies have an almost unimaginable wad of cash stored up in the coffers. To use that expression. They no longer think if they start paying that out, wall street is going to bite them in the rear and hurt them and punish them for doing good deeds. There is a famous saying, no good deed goes unpunished. Mr. Trump explained thats not true as far as business is concerned. Good deeds will be rewarded and not punished and i think that is a huge impact on american business. American business now knows they are marching forward with the government on their side not with the government snidely at them and that has enormous impact how the government is run and the economy is run. They have a partnership between government and business, and that partnership is now expanding wildly, rapidly to the employees as well. It is a very, very big day for america. I absolutely agree, and another goody for you. A reporter calling out the white house for attending davos this week . What went into the president s decision to go davos. First sitting president to go since 2000. A lot of what the forum is about goes against his populist decisionmaking agenda. Now listen to President Trump talking in june about putting rich people in this cabinet. Take a listen. Why did you appoint a rich person to be in charge of the economy . [laughter] i said, no, its true. And wilbur is a very rich person in charge of xhefrments i said because thats the kind of thinking we want. You know, really. Because theyre representing the country. They dont want the money. These are people that are great, brilliant business minds and thats what we need, what we have to have. So the world doesnt take advantage of it. We cant have the world taking advantage of us anymore. And i love all people. Rich or poor, but in those particular positions, i just dont want a poor person. Does that make sense . Does that make sense . If you insist ill do it, but i like it better this way, right . He was a pretty good candidate. Ill put the davos question aside because if he didnt go to davos he would be criticized for that. To the president s point, dont rich people control job creation whether you like it or not, so it makes sense to appoint them to the cabinet . Some rich people control job creation and some dont. A lot of very, very rich democrats. We get the impression that all the rich people are republicans. Great majority of very large donations to the last president ial campaign, milliondollar contributions came from democrats not republicans. Republicans are Good Business people, by and large, there are exceptions to be sure, and they know that Good Business policy to treat your employees right and the government is saying to you, were going to encourage you to spend your money, to invest your money, to build a Bigger Capital base for this country. Were going to go along with it. We dont think government is going to come along and bite us. When i used to do a lot of speeches for business people, they were terrified of government. Now they think government is their friend. Thats an enormous difference. Liz huge. Switch gears to Chuck Schumer, drawing 1. 6 billion on the president s wall. Do you think, ben, that mr. Schumer taking the wall funding off the table. He was humiliated over the governments shutdown or standoff, now hes trying to appease the liberal members of the democrats by taking that promise money away. I think that democrats screwed up this Government Shutdown so badly, its almost unbelievable. There never was any point to it. Stood in the way of progress, paying the women and men who fought our wars and protect our borders. Never any point to it at all. Why they did it is a complete mystery to me, and why mr. Schumer stood up there and said it was the republicans fault when its the democrats fault is a complete mystery to me. Ive rarely seen a political blunder so clear cut as this one. It never made any sense at all. Luckily now, weve got to do something about. This weve got a multiyear funding, especially for defense. Weve got to have a situation for defense contractors can build the defense buildup so desperately without having to worry about having the rug pulled out from their feet. Defense is the number one goal of america. We cannot have congress playing games with it. Liz how about this issue, ben. Chuck schumer calling out the president saying its like talking with jello. Take a listen to this. Negotiating with this white house is like negotiating with jello. Its next to impossible. As soon as you take one step forward, the hard right forces the president three steps back. Or could you argue, mr. Stein, as mr. Schumer took one step forward, the hard left told him to back out because they dont like the president. They dont want to do any deal on immigration and thats why they have the Government Shutdown for 20 days. Well, i think you have nailed it exactly. What mr. Schumer is saying is nothing more than the Political Parties are responsive to the people that elect them. And mr. Trump is responsible to the people who elected him and mr. Schumer is responsible to the people who elected him. For mr. Schumer to have said mr. Trump is hard to negotiate with, thats a joke. Weve seen how the democrats argue about immigration, one day its this, one day its that. Their policy on immigration is never made any sense at all. Why we should be admitting huge numbers of people who by definition are criminals, that has always been a mystery to me. Total mystery to me and still is. Whats a bigger mystery is the democrats used to support citizens over noncitizens, watch this. It is wrong and ultimately selfdefeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked. We do not want to do anything to encourage more ilLegal Immigration into this country. The American People are fundamentally pro Legal Immigration and antiilLegal Immigration. We will only pass comprehensive reform when we recognize this fundamental concept. Its a fundamental concept, but what happened, ben . Democrats used to be tough on ilLegal Immigration. Now because they shut down the government over it, is this all about them trying to get more votes on that population . Well, trying to get more votes from that population, and remember, america runs on razor thin margins, 700,000 more votes on democrats is not a trivial thing. Theyve got a hard left component that loves illegal immigrants. Why they love them so much, i dont know. Its a scary thing to think were dealing with people who came here illegally and claim they have the right to be here and have the right to all kinds of Government Services ahead of people who are born here. Gets my blood boiling. Thats for another day. Ben stein, we covered a lot of ground. You were great as always. Appreciate it. God bless you, sir . Same to you. The dow closing lower today. S p and nasdaq, well, hohum. New record closes. Nicole petallides on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with the latest. Nicole . Reporter it was a record acrosstheboard. Dow, the nasdaq and s p 500 hit records intraday. The nasdaq and the s p did squeeze out gains. Those were record closes and the s p 500 is now having the most record closes since 1964 for january.

A winner on the s p 500 adding more subscribers than expected, and mattel and hasbro jumping once again, people are speculating is there a deal between the toy makers, back to you. Thank you very much. Procter gamble ceo responding to that tide pod challenge. A social mediafueled trend which millennials are challenged to eat single load detergent packets. Im not kidding. The author of your kids are your own fault, larry winget is here to react on that. Outrage after the nfl rejects a please stand ad from a veterans group. First the news of texts between peter strzok and lisa page. David bossie is here to react, after this. Ashley bring you up to speed on this. The senate is voting on confirmation of Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chairman. He is current member of the Federal Reserve boards of governors and former private Equity Investor and treasury official. Well keep an eye on that for you. Another text between fbi agent peter strzok and lisa page has emerged with strzok expressing concern about joining Robert Muellers russia investigation team. This is what strzok texts page, quote, you and i both know the odds are nothing. If i thought it was likely there would be no question. I hesitate in part because my gut sense and concern, theres no big there there. Ashley no big there there, joining me former trump 2016 Deputy Campaign manager and coauthor of let trump be trump. David bossie joins us now. David, so strzok here who is supposed to be heading up the investigation already believed there was no there there. Objectivity not exactly a rampant among this investigation. Another example, right . Yeah, we have a lot of problems in this investigation, clearly, but that is actually a contemporaneous note to his colleague who is having an affair with, at the same time, we forget that, but this is a true statement where hes saying, look, i would like to get involved but there is nothing there there. Meaning as somebody who is paying very close attention to the socalled russia collusion thing, i go to the investigation but theres nothing there. I think that thats really very telling. Ashley i want to get into this with you, david. The five months of missing texts, theyre from between strzok and page who apparently did nothing all day but text each other. Theyve gone missing, from a critical period, from the president ial transition to the day Robert Mueller gant investigation. We have no texts. My theory is they were so awful, so embarrassing, so prejudicial, they were magically lost . Whats your feelings on this . Its very convenient that those texts have gone missing, but i got to tell you, our nations leading Law Enforcement agency doesnt lose emails and texts. They find them, and so i think we have all the reasons to believe and have confidence that adults at the fbi and at the department of justice will put together the right team of forensic folks to recover those texts. Ashley so do you think were going to see the light of day of the texts . Without question. Were going to see every single one of them. By the way, if i was running the investigation in congress or at the fbi, i would not only be trying to reconstruct them within the fbi but issuing subpoenas to those phone companies where they are stored. Everyone needs to understand, emails and Text Messages live on beyond just your handheld device or computer, and so somebody is storing them somewhere, and those experience could be answered very, very rapidly. Ashley no surprise here, but there was no coverage of the missing texts on all three networks but did cover big issues like this. Another Royal Wedding in the uk. Mini mouse got a star on the hollywood walk of fame and talk about the super bowl. If this were democrats and republicans and republicans magically somehow lost the text, it would be a twohour special on cnn, right . It would be dominating the news, you are exactly right. This is what the president really hits so well on. He understands the Mainstream Media is so one sided, is lopsided in coverage and the American People and hes educated the American People over the last couple of years. Year of the campaign and then the first year in the white house. That the Mainstream Media is so biased, those numbers, zeros, literally zeros, zer seconds on a major story, the president calls one of the most important. Thats going to be borne out. This is going to be a very devastating, unfortunately for the fbi, which i i honor the fbi and i want them to be to get back to the days of when they were considered the greatest Law Enforcement agency and they had to clean house here, i think, in order to get there. Ashley well, to that point. Last night the gop lawmakers raised concerns over reference to, quote, secret society and the fbi agents text conversations, here is republican congressman trey gowdy. The day after the election, the day after, what they really, really didnt want to have happen, theres a Text Exchange between the two fbi agents, supposed to be objective, factcentric fbi agents saying this is the first meeting of the secret society. First i want to know what secret society are you talking about, you are supposed to be investigating objectively the person who won the electoral college. I find that concept incredibly troubling. Justice department, the fbi, the top guys who should have all the credibility in 99. 9 yes, do you believe there is a secret society of the fbi . I got to tell you, thats very troubling and trey gowdy hit it right on the head. We have to get to the bottom of what exactly were they talking about . Was that an offhanded remark or was that a statement of fact in the sense that there are other members of fbi who are part of some cabal who is trying to defeat donald trump and work against him postelection. We have to get to the bottom of it. And never in 25 years of working and overseeing investigations, you know, in the 90s i was the chief investigator for Congress Running a lot of the similar investigations of the clintons, and we never saw the fbi take such a political edge. We didnt see fbi agents who had an agenda. Obviously, there was stress between the fbi and d. O. J. And the Clinton White house, but never did we see anything pop its head up like this, this is shocking even to me. Ashley david bossie, great stuff. I look forward to the missing texts coming to light. Im not holding my breath. Going to be very interesting. Coming up, outrage after the nfl rejects a please stand ad from a veterans group.

Well, for extremist content ranging from socalled hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos. Okay. We get that. Lets take a quick look at google. The stock, by the way, ending the day up in the green. Just up i should call it up, of course, but we like to call it google. Ever so slightly flat on the market. He was censored by google when he took down his video by how i feel about being called a white supremacies. He tweeted quote no explanation and no reason. Why in the wobbled would this be blocked . Good questions. Joining me now to answer is university of toronto professor dr. Jordan peterson. Dr. Peterson, explain to me how did you get blocked on youtube . Thats not easy to do or apparently it is. Why were you blocked . Well, its easier than you think. I had all of my accounts shut down about six months ago too. My gmail accounts and everything else. Ashley what did you do . I violated their terms of agreement. Ashley how . They just sent me a generic message saying that the robots have picked me up. The algorithms that it was reviewed by a human and that they blocked me. But there was a big outcry on social media and reinstated. Ashley they didnt tell you exactly why but what do you suspect. Well, i suspected it had to do something with a political situation that i was in canada. I come out against a particular piece of legislation and people accused of me being part of the altright or part of the far right. Ashley can you tell me what that accusation was . Yeah. It purported to have gender identity a list of categories under the human rights code but what it did was compel a certain form of speech, and i objected to that. And because i dont think the government is in job of telling you what you should say, much less, you know, what you shouldnt say from time to time. But perhaps not that either. So it was political. And i had people inside google telling me what was going on. So and then this latest thing was a clip that was taken from an interview i had down in l. A. That we were just discussing accusations against me. That was all it was. And that was banned. Ashley so whats your recourse . Have you said, hey, this is unfair . Do you have a place where you can, you know, plead your case . Well, i was fortunate when it happened originally because i know lots of media people in canada and so i called a number of reporters and said, look, they shut down my gmail accounts. My calendar. My everything. So it was really not good. It was really not good. And within a day or so, they reversed their decision. Although, they really ashley because you got the media attention. Well, yeah. Exactly. I had clout. And the person who had done the interview with me, they run a Youtube Channel called h3h3 and have about 4 million subscribers, so they had clout too. Ashley but even though you got kicked off youtube and your gmail shut down, youre not going to change your way of expressing yourself. Im not going to oppose what the government can tell me what to say. Ashley lets get to your book. 12 rules of life. Tell me what are the rules of life. Where am i going wrong, is what i want to find out. Well, i can tell you one. Ashley yes. Its called put your house in perfect order before you criticize the world and behind the motivation of things such as the Columbine School shooting. So its a serious chapter and about the mistakes people make that structured society before they act responsibly in the world and to tell the truth and put their own houses in order. Ashley its easy to say that but how hard is it to do . People dont believe they would do a lot of self reflection. Well, theyre not often convinced that their efforts would be worthwhile. But they are worthwhile, and ive been talking to young men in particular about this over the last year, and ive had thousands. Tens of thousands of letters now about people who have been trying out the sorts of things that ive been trying on my youtube videos. Ashley putting your house in order. What else . Give me another one. Pet a can cat when you encounter it on the street. Ashley i actually do do that. Well, there you go. Its a meditation, its a chapter about my daughters serious illness, and im attempting im a clinical psychologist, but im attempting in that chapter to help people determine how they can cope when things get far too stressful in their lives and to look for the little bits of beauty and warmth that enter your life spontaneously ashley very interesting. 12 rules for life.

Hes a former private Equity Investor and treasury official. Jerome powell. The next head of the fed. The nfl in the meantime rejecting a onepage ad for the 50second Super Bowl Program submitted by the veteran organization and vets. Now, the ad simply stated please stand in reference to the National Anthem. The nfl said no. Simply why . Well, they said its making a political statement when you say that. Joining me now and Vets National commander marianne. All right. Let me start right there. Is asking people to stand for the National Anthem a political statement in your mind . Absolutely not. Ashley so what did the nfl actually say when you asked for an ad in the Super Bowl Program . What was their reasoning . Well, we actually they actually called us the Publications Department from the National Football league that does their advertisements are the ones that contacted us about placing the ad in the super bowl. They had one spot available, and they asked if we would like to place an ad. Our Communications Department got together with our executive director and myself and decided that, yes, we would. We had we were on a timeline of i think two days to get them the ad that we wanted to place in the program. We did that. We submitted it. And within the next day, they contacted us back and said that the nfl wanted us to change our ad to state a different wording on the program. And we did not want to do that. That was our simple ad. Please stand. Ashley so was there any compromise . Was there a please stand for our veterans . Was that submitted . They asked us if we would change it to please stand for our veterans. But stand for our veterans every day. We were getting the point out to all americans to please stand. That was our word. And the nfl said were short of the deadline, so we have to were not going to accept your ad. Now, that was last friday when they told us that. Well, im sorry to the nfl, but they didnt know who was going to be in the super bowl until sunday afternoon. Ashley thats a good point. Now, whats the reaction being among your comrades . Among your group . What has been the reaction . Well, the of course, weve been getting phone calls, Text Messages, emails from our organization from members and members outside of our organization, and they vary. The majority liked our concept of placing that ad that said please stand. Some did not. But, you know, we just all we did is just say no problem. Were not going to worry with it. And i did send a letter to the commissioner of the nfl. That letter was sent out to a couple of news media. Ashley right. And so its escalated from there, you know . Concerning the problem that we have. But that was the only problem that we have with the entire ordeal is them ashley do you think the commissioner was behind this . Rodger goodell . Do you think that was the man who ultimately decided we cant get into this controversial issue and pull the plug on it . Im not sure if he was. I really dont know who the bottom line was that the nfl says, no, were not going to let you run this ad. Im not sure if it was the commissioner or not. Ashley wow. Its very disappointing. You know, to me. Okay. Free speech that these players are kneeling. But surely, it should be free speech for you and your group to ask people to stand. Correct. Thats all we were asking for. You know, in that in the program. Ashley right. And, of course, we were denied that right. Ashley well, its a crazy world we live in. But the ratings are down for the nfl. And i have a feeling this has a lot to do with it. Thank you so much for being here and thank you for your service. We really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ashley thank you. Procter gamble ceo saying, you know, its working to stop the tide challenge. That numskull trend on social media that has millennials challenging each other to eat single load laundry detergent packets. Its parents rather than companies that should be blamed. The author of your own kids, your fault larry winget joins us next. Ashley the company tide saying they will not discontinue its liquid laundry packets even though a dangerous social media challenge called the tide pod challenge has teens eating tide pod packets. Stupid. The Company Procter Gamble is ensuring quote glorifying this behavior partner with advocacy groups to help spread the word that this is dangerous behavior. Not to be copied. I would never have known. Lets take a look at how stocks of tides manufacturer Procter Gamble did today. Ending the day in the red. The overall market flat just down slightly. Joining me now is the author of your kids, your own fault. Larry winget. All right. Larry, words fail me on this story. Now, a utah state student was taken to the hospital after he ate a tide pod. Now, this is a college student. How can people be so stupid to understand this or not understand this is a great idea. I dont understand. Tell me. You know, im as confused as you are about the deal when tide pods first came out, there was a concern about babies and toddlers eating them and mistaking them for candy. I got that. And parents locked them up and put them up so high, they couldnt reach it. And thats i ignorance. A baby doesnt know any better. Thats sort of the definition of ignorance. You dont know any better. But when you do know better, and you knowingly put poison in your mouth and swallow it, that goes beyond ignorance to stupidity. And now were expecting tide to be the parent on this deal and to warn us this is a bad idea. Ashley i remember my mother telling me when i was about 5 or six if your friend jumped off the cliff, would you do it . Its such a basic thing. Walmart and walgreens, theyre locking up the tide pods. Should they be behind lock and key . When we take everything off Grocery Store she feels that would hurt us if we swallowed it, there wouldnt be much left in Grocery Stores. When we have reached a place in society when we have to lock up detergent so we wont eat it. So those stores are protecting us from our own stupidity, we have sunk to a whole new level of dumb. Ashley and thats not easy to do. Now, look, tides twitter account is responding to queries in claims of tide pod poisoning. I guess the question is where are the parents . But i guess if theyre in college, the parents are at home while these kids are at college. Pick up the phone. Call your kids. Say dont eat poison, stupid. I taught you better than that. You didnt do it when you were 4. Now youre 18, 24. Dont eat poison. Dont be that ignorant. You know, theyre hiring Football Players to tell kids not to do that. Bad idea. Call your kids and say you dont do this. Hire me to do it. I would be happy to say, hey, idiot. Dont eat poison. Ashley hey, listen, in North Carolina bank shop apparently has created doughnuts if that now look like these laundry packets. There you go. They actually look pretty good. People are being seriously hurt. Joking aside, is that in bad taste or is it just kind of making a silly situation even sillier . You know, its kind of making a silly situation. I think its making fun of the whole thing how stupid it all is and maybe thats what we need to do. Show how ridiculous this is. If all of us spoke up and said this is the dumbest thing in the world to go on at this place in society with people who should know better. Young adults, then maybe we should all make fun of it. Its just a fad. It will pass. Sadly, though, something new will take its place. Ashley yes, theyll be eating nails next. That would be the next challenge. Whatever it is, stupidity reigns. Youre absolutely right. Larry, thank you, as always, for setting us straight. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

Ashley i want to get into another subject for you because this is something that stood out for me. Theres a story a bit stomach turning and people may not sleep well at night when they get into this story. But a fresno man out in california, salmon sushi. He ended up pulling a 5. 5foot long tapeworm out of his own body and then took it to the hospital. First question, we mentioned sushi. Is this could this be a problem with sushi . Tapeworms. Yes. It can be a problem with any raw or uncooked food. Fish, beef, pork, chicken, you name it. And the lesson to learn here is moderation is the key. This poor young guy was eating it every day. He loves raw food. Loves salmon and sushi. But im not surprised he picked it up because what happens is that larva was in the tapeworm that he ingested. Ashley to grow to five feet long, at one point do you feel something wrong . Five feet is nothing. That tapeworm can grow up to 80 feet. Ashley what . For him, abdominal pain, cramping, changes in bowels, diarrhea, weight loss, malnutrition as well because the worm can attach to the intestinal wall. Ashley im not going to sleep tonight. I saw the movie alien. He did take the worm out and took it to the hospital. Probably not the best thing to do; right . Well, he wanted to show his doctor. The thing is keep your hands clean.
