Transcripts For FBC Mornings With Maria Bartiromo 20240713

The polls, we will take you live on highstakes election, could decide the fate of britain leaving the european. The war on wealth, new Study Reveals Senators Elizabeth Warren to tax the rich, falls short bringing in a trillion dollars less than what she expected, mornings with maria begins right now. Joining the conversation fox business dagen mcdowell, liz peek and forbes media chairman former republican president ial candidate steve jobs. What a hearing yesterday, testimony of Michael Horowitz in capitol hill, i personally think it was damning and incredible, Inspector General testified in Senate Judiciary committee on offices findings in regards to alleged surveillance abuse during 2016 election, horowitz calling out the fbi highlighting longstanding issues within the fbi, watch. Basic and fundamental errors were made by 3 teams on sensitive fbi investigations after matter had been briefed in the highest level of the fbi, paid central and essential role in order to seek fisa order. Relied on steele after concerns by Department Attorney that steele may have been hired associated with rival candidate or campaign. A lawyer at the fbi creates fraudulent evidence, alters an email, that is in turn used as the basis for a sworn statement to the court that the court relies on. Am i stating that accurate . Thats correct. That is what occurred. What has been described few we are irregularities to fisa court and to keep an operation open against a sitting president of the United States, violating every norm known to the rule of law. Maria incredible that the investigation continued, the surveillance continued even after inauguration and well into the presidency there. I have the ig report in front of me and theres one piece of this that we are going to break news later which has not been discontinued at all and we will speak to carter page, he will be any special guest coming up, your reaction on what you saw yesterday steve forbes. I think theres a vivid contrast on what is in the report and the conclusions that people drew of them, the regular media drew from them. Horowitz himself couldnt go over the edge and say this is what really happened, Dianne Feinstein could do her little thing, is there proof of a experience, no, when conspiracy, they moved to try to destroy his presidency. They were ruining democracy to save democracy, most astonishing thing in american history. This is bigger than watergate. Maria we knew that. I like senator kennedy, okay, you didnt fine the email that underline conclusion that he was no bias, you didnt find the email when he said i did it, i wanted to take down trump, you have the obvious email . Set allow bar for finding political bias, there really is no other way to read the report other there was some motivating factor behind all the egregious things that they did, mistakes really isnt the right word, they lied, they were purposely obscuring information that could have been beneficial to the Trump Campaign, they went on for months and months with an information they know was totally bonus, what was the motivation, just stupidity, i mean, is the fbi really ranking file going to be content to think that the most incompetent there was 3 different teens of investigators all of who pursue the same solicitous material. Democrats had great talking point, no political bias, that was destroyed in the hearings, theres no way you can conclude that. Maria more than that dagen, how many months did we hear the likes of john brennan and clapper saying that the steele dossier had nothing to do with the warrant to wiretap carter page, it was all they sad in had in terms of getting dagen members of the media are complicit in pushing not only the steele dossier narrative debunked but also the Russia Collusion Investigation and these two things go hand in hand in Washington Post article, just ridiculed the nunes memo, i was reading an article, i think it was Foreign Policy magazine about how damning the steele dossier was. The issue here is again, so to former head of the fbi all the way down, that includes you as you go about this victory lap, another victory lap for jim comey. Number 2, we are concerned about this because the fisa court and these surveillance warrants are the tool that Law Enforcement uses to protect the United States and so you have a process that was filled with errors and bias and what will happen potentially, the American People will demand that these powers be taken away, ultimately we are less safe because of the abuses under jim comey. What a contrast between the Washington Post today and the Washington Post of the early 1970s. Maria its sad, its really sad, but youre right, they used the tools that we used on terrorists against donald trump because they didnt want him there. Here is a headline from Foreign Policy, this was a few years ago, you dont get slapped with fisa warrant unless the court thinks you could be the agent of foreign power, it was about carter page, how wrong they were. Maria you remember what it was like 2 years ago, you know, ill come in after my sunday show after having original reporting on exactly what took place and the virtually the entire media landscape would slam me for coming out and saying this is what we learned yesterday, the nunes memo, et cetera, and it was like they just ignored it, they ignored all of the obvious signs and just tried to come up with the narrative that the Trump Administration wasnt being spied on. By the way its not just comey that gets trashed, adam schiff also, which by the way a lot of people were applauding on the right. Maria andrew mccabe, the interview that jim comey did in msnbc, embarrassing, let me turn to china trade, thats the big story, President Trump expected to meet with top trade advisers, spoke with Chuck Grassley said sources told him that they will not go into effect. A conversation i had but i wont say who with didnt deal with tariffs but tell me that tariffs will not be imposed on december 15th and we could possibly be close to an agreement with china, beyond that, i dont have much more information on that but it was all all we very much a positive conversation about reaching a phase 1 agreement with china. Maria you dont know where this is coming from because every time we talk about whether or not the administration is, in fact, considering lifting tariffs people like peter navarro, the hawks in government, they knock it down, they say theres no indication that the president is even considering lifting the tariffs, we will see what happens up until sunday, we have andy from hauwei coming in the studio today. I talked to a Senior Administration official who is involved in this trade agreement two nights ago and i actually seriously that they dont know what the president is going to do. I think its up to him, thats what the meeting today is about and i think itll be, you know, kind of a coin toss frankly about whether he wants to put his foot on the accelerator and say the tariffs are going into effect because the chinese have balked. Everyone wants a deal but, on the other hand, i think the Trump Administration feels that they have gone so far down the road, they cant just basically walk away. The markets, though, anticipating that they will get a deal. Maria youre right. Dagen cover to let the tariffs go into effect because of the usmca being past and the lift that will give the economy. Maria not to mention 266,000 jobs number. Thats the leverage for the president. Dagen again, here is what we know, we dont know. Maria let me point out that we have a memo here about china adopting malicious cybersecurity rules, this just came out and has not been covered very much, but there are in cybersecurity rules in place in china and gordon chang says that it means that no Foreign Company may encrypt data any longer so it cannot be read, in other words, businesses will be required to turn over the encryption keys, im wondering, im scratching my head theres no way to protect the intellectual property, what are we talking about here with the new rules . We will talk about that coming up as well. Then theres 2020 and taxing the wealthy, new announcements estimated that Elizabeth Warrens wealth tax would raise more than a trillion dollars less than campaigns said it would be raised. We cant afford this to begin with and shes not going to be able to get the amount of money she needs to actually pay for her plans, what does that mean it trickles down to the middle class. Shes been out there making all the promises and really has been unable to argue where the money is going to come from, a trillion here, a trillion here, i dont think in Elizabeth Warrens world it matters very much. I assume that the new study and i havent had a chance to study the study has to do with the negative the negative effects of putting in Something Like a wealth tax, her model, Elizabeth Warrens work basically does not have any room for people leaving the country, people hiding their assets, et cetera, et cetera, that will be those things happening should they take this path and, you know, im assuming that the numbers will not add up to what she expects. Maria unintended consequences. 2. 7 trillion the model says is coming in, thatll be about a trillion dollars, not 2. 7. Maria thats right. Grossly underestimated. Capital doesnt like to get whipped. Maria does that mean she will have to raise taxes on everybody . Bernie is right, will be on the middle class, Bernie Sanders says i will run health care so well you dont have to pay more, you know in the real world this thing is massive hit in the middle class, europe has 25 sales tax, they call them valueadded taxes, 30 to 50 payroll taxes, 2 to 3 times what we have in the u. S. , thats how they pay for the free stuff. Dagen 70,000 rich people left the country, thats why it was rescinded and goes, again, this is unconstitutional because founders decide today ban direct tax, wasnt based on populations of the state, right, steve . Yes. People dont think its constitutional. Maria confiscation there, you go, when you look at the wealth tax its confiscation, britain is voting today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing the labour party corbyn, live to london, look at the issues there and how it impacts the u.

Ashley good morning to you, maria, first election in december since 1923. The Party Leaders here casting their ballots this morning, Boris Johnson coming into Central London in westminster borough, hes coming out with the dog, waves to the crowd, Jeremy Corbyn casting vote in north london, long lines and we are seeing pictures including this one in southeast london in the town showing long lines, thats encouraging. What is the parliamentary math, what is this all about . Bottom line every seat in parliament is up for a vote, 650 seats, the question is how many does each party win, the conservatives hope they can win at least 326, that will give them the majority they need and that will give Boris Johnson the chance to get brexit plan through so everyone can move on, today the National Papers all come out with their endorsements, many i have to say for borisonson, the daily express says vote conservative today, brexit and britain in your hands, the paper jason s but Jeremy Corbyn has been reacting on social media, he tweeted response, i read todays front pages, what is it about labours plans to make rich pay their fair share, what i can tell him what they dont like marxist policy, of course, he would like to nationalize all public utilities, taxes, taxes, taxes, sound familiar .

Maria welcome back, fractional moves, take a look at future indicating a gain at the start of trading, s p futures up 3 and nasdaq futures up higher by 12, Federal Reserve announced yesterday that rates would remain unchanged, we were not expecting another cut yesterday, central Bank Chairman jay powell striking optimistic tone saying the economy are in good place, powell commenting on the jobs market expecting to it remain strong as well, what does that mean to investing lets get into it with ubs adviser allie mccartney. Thank you so much for joining us, what was your take away of the Federal Reserve, what does that tell you about the year ahead. The Federal Reserve has been acknowledging what we have been saying that 2020 and maybe many years into that would be largely motivated by politics and not fundamentals, fundamentals have not changed in a very long time, the fed added what is interesting and dovish language about what has to happen in the inflation market, what has to happen in the economy like referring to trade, for example, in terms of persistently high inflation, we were talking before we went on about how the market has reacted or the pundits have reacted which is that you dont really see anybody talking about moves either up or down in the Interest Rate until probably 2021 and just as many individuals who think that that rate might be going up and becoming less accommodative, everything hinges on what happens on friday at this point. Maria next move up in 2021. Thats what you heard yesterday . Theres certainly the doveish reaction to it is that the market given that people see 2 to 3 growth in the u. S. And people are still prognosticating that its certainly possible that that is the next move. Do you think that another round of tariffs could produce the kind of inflation that would argue for a rate hike any time in the next 18 months . I certainly think its a possibility, right . I think its not only producing inflation but its producing another year or so of lack of investment by corporations in the economy so that we get growth, not 2 to 3 and start to get into negative. I keep wondering where could inflation come from that would gender any type of dagen wage growth. But base and Jpmorgan Chase economist estimates from the cpi yesterday the feds preferred inflation measure from the Commerce Department is likely to go up 1. 6 . Exactly. Dagen no inflation. I was just going to ask in terms of lack of investment if tariff is not resolved when does that affect the economy, when does the impact really hit . Well, i think we were concerned and we saw some of the impact in the last quarter and the question when you see when Fourth Quarter results come out in the economy, the issue that we continue to have, we were talking about this as well, is that we are still either the best or the least worst, so theres still an amazing amount of money coming into our markets, largely coming into our equity markets as a result of the imbalance between what dividends and stocks and risk assets are producing in yield and what fixed income is producing in yield. Do you see a scenario where if this trade continue to linger we go down for a period of time. I think its absolutely possible. Theres no reason for this these companies will the president blame the fed and put pressure on the fed that seems to be the the process that we are under and im sure that will be felt and im sure theyll be pressure from the rest of the world in terms of global feds accommodation. Thats the key because we dont live in a vacuum and europe is having a hard time generating growth. We will talk about the ecb today because the new head of the central bank kristin lagard, where are we, germany is in recession. Yeah. Maria greece is doing the best than anybody over there, whats your expectation with kristin lagard and what she does in ecb, will that move markets . This is her getting in a position to figure out what her Leadership Structure is, you have a difficult situation there, right, you have a market in which the swift rates are projected to be the futures markets there saying you will have maybe 20 years of nettive Interest Rates, 30 years of negative interests in germany, we have clients that are putting in a dollar and getting 97 cents back and trying to figure out how to navigate and you have a historically large gap between the very high Dividend Rate that european stocks pay and the yield on sovereign debt or lack thereof and she has tall orders to address there for sure. Maria all right, we will see, we will get breaking news from European Central bank, sounds like you still like stocks here. I think you have to because although we are neutral on stocks, this environment given how low yield is and how low inflation is, youve got to be tilted towards risk assets. Maria no at alternatives.

Maria welcome back, another top story this morning, impeachment inquiry, the house Judiciary Committee will debate articles of impeachment against President Trump considered the final step before brought to house floor for a full vote, lawmakers holding a latenight session yesterday to mark them up, democrats are insisting they must remove the president , republicans argue it is about fear of losing in 2020. We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the president threatens the very integrity of that election. Nor can we sit on our hands while the president undermines our National Security. I know they are desperate, you know how i know it, adam schiffs own words yesterday. We cant go to court, that would take too long, an election is coming, no, adam, what you need to continue to say is we cant beat him next year. The only thing we need is a 30second commercial saying we impeached him, thats the wrong reason to impeach somebody and the American People are seeing through this. Maria joining us right now Young Americans for liberty analyst and author how do i tax thee kristin tate. Thanks for having me, your reaction of what you just heard, the impeachment continuing and its going to come to the house floor for a vote soon. Yeah, the democrats have made it clear that this is a flagrant process that any fairminded person should dismiss, flyover country, workingclass people are tired of hearing of impeachment, maria, they are much more interested in the issues that are facing them every day like taxes and health care and thats why we have seen support for the impeachment kind of flat line over the last few weeks despite constant coverage and constant hearings, theres also ominous poll that half of americans oppose impeaching President Trump, the moderate democrats that are vulnerable, they have a very difficult decision to make, do they oppose their own voters or oppose their own caucus, the democrats, they only need a majority to impeach, we know justin amal will support impeachment, the democrats can afford to lose 18 of their own, we have to watch the moderate vulnerable democrats in trump country, itll be interesting which way they go. Maria and when you said a minute ago about them not getting anything done, americans are much more interested in seeing the issues that are important to them, what are your thoughts on what you just heard nancy pelosi say about usmca, thats now coming to the floor and then, of course, another continuing resolution, Congress Need to pass spending bill by next friday to avoid another Government Shutdown, one glimmer of hope was pass only of bystander secure bill and family leave for federal workers, are you buying it that they are getting to the peoples business or not . You know, the people want them to get to the business, the defense bill is good news, it passed with prebroad support, expected to pass the senate next week, trump has said he will sign it, there were some leftwing members who opposed it because it doesnt bar trump from using defense funds to build a wall along the border, so this could make democrats put up more of a fight as they try to come up with budget resolution to prevent a Government Shutdown, remember, maria, the last Government Shutdown was over a border wall, ended up being the longest Government Shutdown in u. S. History, so we could be looking at another one of those potentially, but any spending thats agreed to needs to fall under the broader 2year, 2. 7 trillion budget deal that trump and the democrats agreed to, personally, i think the big scandal that nobody is talking about is our nations spending and deficit problem while trump and republicans are, you know, celebrating over the military spending increases in this budget deal, we are locking at unsustainable increases in federal deficits, you know, seems like the only thing that republicans and democrats can only agree on is spending increases, theres nobody in washington who is serious about spending cuts right now. Kristin, do you one big issue that seems impeachment has pushed aside for now is one that concerns americans and thats the cost of health care, more and more companies putting high deductible plans people are paying more out of pockets, out of pocket even though the official medical inflation rate is pretty low, people feel they are spending more than ever. Where do you see that going for the republicans and democrats. Most americans want nothing to do with this, they are smart enough to see through the claims that you could implement Something Like this without raising taxes on workingclass people, medicare is ridden what are the republicans going to put out, medicare for all, no good but here we have Something Better . Are they putting together a package of good stuff. Dagen i can answer that, i think the president will run on fixing Social Security and medicare leading up to 2020 election. Its something that hebecause again thats how you offset the medicare for all, we want to protect seniors, we want to the Hospital Trust fund in medicare goes broke in 6 years, i think, so he could run on that, watch for that, you predicted that. Maria yeah, and i dont necessarily think hes going to run on it but i think thats going to be a priority when and if he does get reelected. I think the put will knife on some of the spending, he recognizes the issues here. Dagen protect those who deserve it. Maria i like the way you say it better, protecting those who deserve it but make sure that the people down the road have a different structure than we have right now. Go ahead. Maria what about the field, lets talk michael bloomberg, kristin, House Democrats once again own president ial campaign as well, the former new york mayor has pledged 10 million democrats to aid democrats in trump districts, kristin, look, he gave the democrats 110 million back in november of last year, it helped, they won the majority, now hes giving another 10 million, i suspect this is just the beginning in terms of Mike Bloomberg spending. Youre right, these democrats can take all the help they can get, Michael Bloombergs money might help a little bit, but, you know, in some of the democrats in the vulnerable districts are siding with the democrats on impeachment, it makes their voters say, you know, are you fighting for us or are you fighting for the voters or allegiance just to the party, they have big problems here, meanwhile obviously the economy is roaring, we have seen record low unemployment for many groups like black americans and hispanics, women have seen Great Strides in the workplace, so i kind of think democrats know they cant run against trumps economy and they are in a tough spot, maybe bloombergs money will help them a bit but i think their problems are on the issues. Maria before you go, we have to get your comment and the panels comment on Hillary Clinton, do we think shes entering the race after howard stern interview, steve bannon joining me this weekend on sunday and said, look, he almost said 100 , it sure looks like it and then, of course, the poll recently, dagen, what does the poll say that most democrats think that shes the best candidate right now . Dagen i just dont believe it. [laughter] dagen shes an embarrassment to the party given the fact that she lost to President Trump, it goes back to delusion, but in terms of howard stern, if i was running for the nomination i would be on the phone trying to get booked on his show because he can turn somebody with no personality or trying to craft one into a quite frankly a star. Maria you said that before. Great interviews. Kristin, what do you think . I mean, if she got in this race it would make things a lot more interesting than they already are. Hillarys problem is the same problem she had in 2016, shes so unlikable, shes entrenched and americans are sick of political dynasties, she would end up humiliated like dagen said. Maria come back soon, thank you so much. Kristin tate joining us there. Now Greta Thunberg chosen as person of the year, dje responding; too late her 15 minutes ran out a long time ago, then Joel Cummings comments, lets try to point to something she has actually accomplished, hard to not admire her spirit even dooms day tactics are tad over the top. There was a lot of negative commentary about greta being the person of the year. I dont know, mostly i guess because person of the year i think of the person who exemplifies like the biggest story of the year, what did you guys think . At least it wasnt the whistleblower. [laughter] maria that would have been absurd. I would have liked it to be the hong kongers, i think the china story is the most important story of the day, but i want to say i would have also chosen devin nunes as the person of the year, it was devin nunes who exposed all of this fraud from the cabal of people and got slammed for it as you said earlier, i would have liked to see devin nunes as the person of the year. You are being too shy, you should be person of the year, you gave him the platform. Maria thank you, thank you. I believed it, i really did. Dagen Time Magazine is not a magazine, its a pamphlet, its not really an honor to be times anything. Maria it was influential at one point. Dagen when i wore matching health tech outfits. Maria and head band. Enormous number of people think is essential. So it doesnt surprise me at all that shes on the cover of the magazine, we will see if she has 15 minutes of fame or 15 years, the girl is Pretty Amazing in terms of promotion. I agree 100 . Maria hong kongers are exemplifying whats going on in the world. Wework shining tv moment, the series based on the startup casting lead actor as ousted ceo adam neuuman, who made the cut, we will be right back. May your holidays glow bright and all your dreams take flight. Lease the c 300 sedan for just 399 a month at the mercedesbenz winter event. Hurry in today. Apps except work. Rywhere. Why is that .

Music but how do i know if im im getting a good deal .

Absolutely, accessibility has become materially better through technology essentially and basely how they are going about procuring the jets where you can buy a seat on a jet for a little bit more firstclass fair, what we have done with our food is we basically have an open menu of customer can have whatever they want because of demands of worldwide traveling, we have people from all different cultures who want food from their country, new york. Maria interesting, so you produce all of this where and tell us about the disturbance onset, about this menu . We produce all of this project in facility and we have a facility in white plains, new york, specifically the new york metro market and the folks that fly in and out of here, all the products are sourced locally from local farms, the salamis are made locally, we have taken what we believe the freshest and best products from this area to create this menu, the menu only available in new york market. Dagen do i get all of this for the price of my ticket or do i have to pay extra for it . It depends. It depends. [laughter] dagen a lot of money to fly. We are. It depends if its a fractional provider, a lot of the times the food is included in the price, if youre private jet owner, then its alacarte and you pick what you want, the only industry that you can have whatever you want. How many meals are you serving every day . We serve about a little over a thousand a day worldwide. Dagen are most of those Corporate Jet customers, meaning people who are flying for business purposes rather than personal reasons . Thats a portion of of the flights, there are people who flight personally like we do sports teams like you said, its a whole variety, private aviation isnt just that one client in the back of the jet that flies for business. When did the trend begin . Once upon a time you got a sandwich and a cup of coffee and that was it . We do supply sandwiches and coffee at times, it depends. This is highclass stuff. This is new york is a gateway to the world. The flights the flight times are longer, a lot of people going over to europe, outside of the country, so youve got 2 or 3 day parts that youre fulfilling while theyre on the jet, a lot of times when they are traveling they want local food, let met try this and let me try that, what we are trying to do give them the best, whats available in the markets thats very unique, having an open menu where you can have whatever you want in the world, you can be good at that.

Maria welcome back. Good thursday morning, everybody. Thanks so much for joining us. Im Maria Bartiromo. Il. Happy thursday. It is thursday, december 12th. Its decision day in the u. K. People are headed to the polls right now to decide the fate of britain exiting the European Union. Prime minister Boris Johnson going up against Labor Party Leader jeremy corbin. If johnsons party wins the majority, brexit is expected to be fast dabbintracked. This day is h real consequential in terms of what happens next in britain. Polls so far suggest Boris Johnson will win a majority. Markets are poised for a second day of gains. Dow futures up fractio fractionp 21 points, s p up 3, nasdaq higher by 12 andahalf. Yesterday doveish remarks from the fe Federal Reserve helped sp a twoday losing streak. The dow industrials up 29 points, s p up 9, nasdaq higher by 37. European indices are higher across the board. Fq100 ahead of the vote in the u. K. , up 43. Cac is up 7, dax is up 23. Asian markets overnight look like this as talks continue between the United States and china, another round of tariffs on chinese goods are set to go into effect on sunday. Lot of debate on whether or not the president is going to push this out to continue talking or if we see a phase one deal. Chinese state media reporting that china will lower overall tariffs and keep Foreign Trade growth steady. Were going to talk with amy purdy from huawei coming up this morning and also this morning, joining me on set, fox business dagen mcdowell, Fox News Contributor columnist for the hill, liz peak, and steve forbes. Great to see everybody. Good to be with you. Maria what are you looking at . Whats important to you guys . I think the u. K. Election is a big deal. Thats kept a lid on european growth, the u. K. Economy is struggling right now. I think this needs to get resolved. I hope this election resolves this brexit issue once and for all. If johnson doesnt win a majority and the scott nationalists do welcome bind with corbin, thats the end of the united kingdom. If scotten grows, Northern Ireland is going to go, the he whole thing is going to blow up. Maria maybe italy down the road too. This is enormous. Dagen what happens with those tariffs that are set to go into effect this weekend which directly hit consumers, that would not be a great Christmas Present for people in this country. Maria the administration will say they chose a that date, december 15th because the bulk of the goods were shipped already. So wouldnt necessarily hit christmas. But obviously it will hit the next couple weeks after christmas. Dagen President Trump is great at producing and stagecraft, that would not look good right before 10 days before christmas. Maria yeah, yeah. This is having an impact, the tariff and confrontation with china, companies are leaving china in droves. Maria vietnam is the beneficiary. Over 60 went to vietnam this year, 60 companies. There is a reworking of the supply chains taking place because of this trade battle and i think thats incredibly good news. Maria its a great point, vietnam a big ben fai fish bene. Were waiting on breaking news, the ecb decision is coming up, this is Christine Lagardes first decision as president of the ecb. Our top story this hour, did you watch the hearing yesterday . Michael horowitz faced tough questions on capitol hill. The Inspector General testified in front of the Senate Judiciary committee yesterday on his offices findings in regards to the surveillance abuse that took place in the 2016 election. He called out the fbi, highlighting longstanding problems within the agency. Watch this. The steele reporting played a l central and sense l Space Shuttle role i essential role in the decision to seek an order. They relied on steeles reporting to seek a fisa order after concerns expressed by a fisa attorney that steele may have been hired with someone associated with a rival candidate or rival campaign. Errors were made by three hand picked investigative teams. There was failure by the managers and supervisors in the chain of command. James comey said this week that your report vindicates him. Is that a Fair Assessment of your report . I think the activities we found here dont vindicate anybody who touched this. Maria joining me right now is former Senior Advisor to the clintons, the ceo of nbc partners and stag well groupwelp managing partner, mark penn. Thank you for joining us. Horowitz was clear in the ig report and in the testimony that the fbi relied pretty much solely on the steele dossier to get the warrant to wiretap car per page. How many times carter page. How many times did we see john brennan and James Clapper all over media saying the dossier had nothing to do with it, there was more information, even jim comey said it was part of a broader mosaic. Not. What do you think . We all knew i mean, in the previously released version of the fisa warrant that that was ludicrous, and its hard to go back, it was so long ago, that there was a National Debate that nunes said that the dossier played a big role and adam schiff says it doesnt. And look, what i always said, and it was a big factor in moving my opinion, was read the dossier. All youve got to do is read it and you can he tell its a complete piece of junk, of ludicrous, unsubstan subshattes that unsubstantiated charges that wouldnt even make it to a comic book. Maria one of the things i said for the last several years is this is really important, people on both sides of the aisle should be focused on this. We follow the constitution and live by the constitution. Under the constitution, we as free americans should be able to live our lives and not get wiretapped for no reason. And if youre going to use i mean, is this the just a justifr spying on someone to get a window into a political opponents strategies by just using any old thing . Nonsense in this dossier. What kind of environment in the socalled deep state led these people to believe they could do this kind of thing and get away with it and to continue it after the election, not just before but after. How high does it go . It went right to the oval office. Maria mark, youve been really great on this in terms of doing the work, finding out what took place early on. You came on this program, we talked about this a lot. What was your reaction to what you heard yesterday . Look, the surprising thing is that the Inspector General says, well, theres no evidence of bias or political bias. Now, look, if i took a coin and i flipped it 17 times, and in 17 times it came up heads, thats a biased coin. He finds 17 violations of procedure, process, laws, all going one direction, to open an investigation that clearly even if it should have been opened briefly as a preliminary matter never had any real substance and he didnt just open one investigation. They really opened investigations into four individuals, only on the basis of them having russian contacts. Thats the only context for investigating, wiretapping and going back and seeing the emails of all these individuals. Maria like i had russian dressing on my salad yesterday. I mean, its absolutely outrageous, liz. And the other thing is, when you say these were mistakes, this is not like oh, i made a mistake, i made a typo. These were calculated things. This is im giving you this data to wiretap an american citizen. Guess what, im not telling you the political owe po plight opp. Is there an appetite by voters to pursue this, to pursue up the chain of command and are we going to see that happen with durhams report, do you think . I think there is an appetite, i think for a long time people have said they want the officials at the intelligence agencies held accountable for what happened. Whether it was political bias, ignorance, malfeasance, mistakes. Clearly, this was a massive investigation that all went on one side, thats was never put in check. I think there is an appetite for accountability. I think remember, that this issue now has been politically polarized, impeachment is politically polarized. Everyone keeps looking for people that they consider to be neutral to come down and be an umpire here and call balls and strikes. Its a little bit the tree falling in the forest. If the mass media doesnt cover this, and they apparently did not cover a good portion of yesterdays hearing that was detrimental to the fbi and to the obamaed administration people, is anyone going to even know about it . It is in incredible, i mean, Lindsey Grahams statement wasnt covered, when so much air time look, you look at this and the impeachment hearings were given wall to wall to wall coverage now for two weeks and it didnt move Public Opinion at all. I think somehow the public finds out whats going on here, they know that there were real problems with this investigation. It will be up to the attorney general and durham now to either close this loop and find real accountability after all, there are people on the record, giving congressional testimony in which they said this dossiers was not used and comey repeatedly maria like john brennan. Like brennan. Maria yeah. How is that not clearly indictable behavior when you have people like roger stone convicted of lying to congress for things that you cant even figure out. Mark, in terms of the durham report, the horowitz report was very damning but he had mambypamby conclusions which gave the democrats cover. Do you think durhams report is he going to go for indictments and blow this thing out in the open . Well, i dont see how the lawyer who affirmatively changed an email that said that carter page was in fact working for the cia and said that he wasnt working i dont see how that lawyer could possibly escape indictment. If theres not an indictment of that maria it said hes not working with them and he puts he puts in that he is working with them. I mean, the complete opposite. That was klinesmith, right, dagen . Did you want to jump in. Dagen i wanted to bring up the the issue of impeachment. Theyre trying to unseat a dually elected president. The house judiciary will vote the two articles of impeachment, moving on to a full house vote next week. Theres not one criminal act thats alleged in the two articles, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. And mark, yesterday we keep talking about these vulnerable 31 democrats, talk about the vulnerability of the democratic candidate who goes up against trump, assuming this impeachment process doesnt go anywhere in the senate. I will point to abigail spanburger, congresswoman in virginia, who was one of the 31 democrats and she got an earful at a town hall from both sides. But again, somebody was yelling, its lies, its lies, its lies, talking about the impeachment process. And were going to get more of this. I dont care how much money Mike Bloomberg has, throwing money, millions at these candidates, these vol nea vulnerable candid. The American People, whether its the abuse of the ph phi cot of abuse of fisa court or abuse of congressional power to unseat the president , they know the truth and they know whats going on. Look, i think 10 moderates have come forward with a censure solution. Look, i felt it was right that the president released the transcript. I felt that it was right that there would have been an a investigation of this and i think there are plenty of people, republicans that should say well, i dont think the behavior was right. But who draw the line at moving this up to an impeachment that divides the country, even worse, and all its done is spin up people in both bases. The moderate elected officials and the moderate voters that are left behind, they Want Congress to be working on their behalf, not doing investigations right now. They should have done a report, maybe they should have done a censure, maybe not. But this makes no sense because 74 of the American Public knows that its doa in the senate anyway. So why are they wasting the time of america on this and why is nadler saying we cant trust the voters to have an election. Were a democracy. That is what we have to do. Maria the other thing is, its so disingenuous and straightout lies, i mean, to be up there on the podium and say the facts are uncontested is completely wrong. In fact, everything is contested. Its extraordinary. Before you go, real quick, will Hillary Clinton join this race . Well, you know, again, polling shows that had she wanted to get in now, she could even take the lead but i do think its too late now. I think a lot of these states have closed out. I think bloomberg did get in at the last time someone could credibly get in. I think nationally hillary would have a tough time. Maria bit was your harris poll, right . Thats right. I think within the Democratic Party she has very strong support today and probably i think could have garnered enough support to get another shot at the presidency. Maria all right. Well leave it there. Mark, great to see you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Maria mark penn.

They are shown to deliberately and aggressively shooting into the you jewish Grocery Store. The mayor says the t shooters posted antih antisemitic messn social media. From our standpoint, there is no question this is a hate crime. Antisemitism should be called out for what it is. Anything other than that is a disservice to antisemitism. Reporter the shooters are identified as 47yearold David Anderson and 50yearold francine graham. They adhered to the black hebrew israelites. Labeled a hate group. The shooters left a handwritten note inside the stolen uhaul van saying, quote i do this because my creator makes me do this and i hate who he hastes.

Forbes magazine celebrating women, announcing its 16th annual list of the worlds top 100 most powerful women, calling the shots in business, finance and more. Number five is General Motors ceo mary barra. Number four is European Commission president , ursual vanderlin. Number two is christine lagarde. Number one on this important list, german chancellor angela merkel. Joining us now is forbes executive Vice President , forbes women president and steve forbes daughter, laura forbes is here. Thank you for joining us. Love being here. Maria i love this list. Its like women are running the world. This years a tes testamento the fact that womens power and influence is growing on the global stage. I think whats interesting this year is that four of the top spots are women in policy and political making decisions, the first for us on the list. Were seeing the economic might has never been stronger of these women. Maria how do you come up with the list . Tell us the metrics. We look at six cat fridays frocategories,and we look at hah as money, money power, constituents you oversee, also are you driving transformational change, impact. Are you really driving global conversations on the most Critical Issues of the day. Whats also interesting is the number of business women and technology and finance, they dominate the list, over 60 now. Whats extraordinary is that before you would he see a number of firsts, first for women leading a company of a certain size or region. Packs are emerging. This year for example, theres three women dominating the defense industry, running the largest defense companies, two women are at the helm of the largest exchanges, women overseeing over 2 trillion in annual revenue, over 700,000 employees, and thats extraordinary when you look at the progress thats been made over the past decade. I would say that looking at your list, that european women are very strong in these official roles and political roles, not so much in business. And the opposite is true in the United States. I mean, we have a lot more business leaders. Would that be your take as well . For sure. I think when you look at the concentration of political power, it is definitely new eur. Prime minister of bel belgium, denmark and the like, we see a lot more fluidity. And i would say opportunities for women to jump onto the leadership ladder much faster than the more traditional corporate arenas. But undoubtedly in terms of Global Business economic power that is really stemming and being driven outside of the u. S. Although were seeing progress in asia. New to the list is the coceo of pinang, one of the largest Financial Service companies in the world. Extraordinary power and a thats the biggest sort of Economic Force of a woman coming out of asia.

Our top story this half hour, Michael Horowitz on capitol hill yesterday, the Inspector General testified in front of the Senate Judiciary committee on his offices findings in regard to the surveillance abuse during the 2016 election. Senate judiciary chairman Lindsey Graham opening the testimony yesterday. One of the first things they tried to do was to get a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to follow carter page, a volunteer for the campaign and american citizen. They applied for the warrant internally in august of 2016 and the lawyers say you dont have enough. Why . Because they had nothing. Maybe this reason lable articulation is this small but to get a warrant from a court youve got to have probable cause. So the lawyers saying you dont have it. Everybody is now frustrated, folks. Thats not the right answer. So mccabe suggests, the number two guy at the fbi, well, lets go look at this steele dossier. Maybe that will get us over the hump. Maria joining me right now is former Foreign Policy advisor to then candidate donald trump, carter page is here with me. Carter, its great to have you this morning. Thanks very much for joining me. Great to be with you. Maria you were at the heart of all of this. Your name came up throughout the hearing because it was you that was surveilled on as the fbi or this kab a al of people used you as a window into the Trump Campaign. Are you feeling vindicated after yesterday . I think as a lot of the senators said, this is a terrible process for our entire country, right. So i think its a long road to renewal and restoration of our surveillance state and our entire judicial system. Theres such a dark cloud. There was once a dark cloud over myself and the Trump Campaign and all the People Associated with it and including the candidate, trump. But now theres a dark cloud over both Justice System as well as the u. S. Court system as well. So its a major problem and theres a lot that needs to be done to get to the bottom of of it. Maria we have a graphic of a timeline that weve been working on and weve seen this on sunday morning futures, on my program that youve joined me on on fox news. The timeline shows how you were an i objecan informant for the t for many years, you worked with intel agencies in 200 2008 and 3 and one of the exculpatory pieces of evidence that wasnt given to the fisa court as a justification to wiretap you, they didnt tell them you were a partner of them for years. What other exculpatory evidence do you want to talk about this morning . I think this is an example every page congressman nunes was on one of the shows, was on your show a lot as well, hes saying every page is like a led gold mine or words to that effect. In fact, the things that were in there is just the tip of the iceberg. You know. Every page i looked through, i know Additional Details about my life and about the people i was working with or not working with, as the case may be. And theres just so much more coming out. Its hard to summarize because theres 400 plus pages. Maria Sidney Powell is the lawyer for Michael Flynn who is also waiting to see his fate. He too was surveilled unlawfully and Sidney Powell wrote this in a tweet, i believe yesterday, talking about the timeline. Lets sh show Sidney Powells tt there. She is saying that not to mention the fbi opened an investigation into carter page within two weeks of him joining the Trump Campaign. I also want to point our viewers attention to the ig report and page 62 is something i have the ig report right here. And it is on page 62 where they write in the ig report, on marcw and she told us after the march 2nd interview, she called the counter espionage section at the fbi headquarters to determine whether page had any security clearances to ask for guidance as to what type of investigation to open on page. Tell me what happened on march 2nd. Well, whats interesting again, i think your deep research in terms of timelines and always keeping track on things has been essential, but also Sidney Powell, her work, getting to the bottom of this and the work shes doing with general flynn, but and actually, i was pushing back against doj to try to get privacy access to it. I never got it. The reason i wanted to keep moving forward is because sidney because general flynn, his future and his case is all pending upon this. But in terms of that specific example maria you had a meeting on march 2nd. What did you tell the people you met with . Well, they were we talked about youve asked me about this on the show previously about the case. I was an informant and helper to the fbi and previously maria this is back in the day in 2013. 2013. Maria it was a case about three russians, they wanted you to testify against those guys. Thats why you were meeting with them in march of 16. Yeah. This has come out drip by drip. Again, i try not to talk about confidential government information but now that its out there, i have no choice but of to talk about it. So essentially, i told them there are a lot of problems in these pleadings and i dont want to they were asking me to potentially even testify in the trial. Maria against these three russians in the Southern District of new york. I said listen, if i testify, i tell the truth. Right. Unlike what we saw in the fisa court. Maria youre going to out them. Im going to have to give the full story. Thats one point. At the end of that, in that meeting i also mentioned, well, the other thing is i recently volunteered for the Trump Campaign and so i would im planning to be a volunteer supporter to the campaign. Maria on march 2nd you tell the fbi in a meeting, sort of like a throwaway line, by the way, im going to go join the Trump Campaign. She comes back from that meeting on march 2nd. She asks her colleagues what kind of investigation should we start on carter page . She received an email from the counter dashes pea na espionagen advisor her to open an investigation on page. They werent sure what kind of investigation to open on you. So just the mere you telling them im going to join the Trump Campaign, she sends a letter and says . Well, you know maria open an investigation. Allegedly. Again, its half the story. This is a perfect example its like i was saying about what congressman nunes said about theres so much great information, hes absolutely right but its just the tip of the iceberg. Thats half of the story. Maria but this is a little news nugget that is breaking news, basically. I want you to tell us, do you believe after you told them that you were going to go work for trump that that was one of the impetuses that they decided to start surveilling you. Suffice to say, i think its a big open question. I mean, its one of these things, it goes to the question of bias right. All the democrat senators kept saying theres no bias, theres no bias. That is a political thing im talking about and its a, quote, unquote, serendipitous, i think that was used in the report, that i just happe happened to mn this and they want to open an investigation. Maria you mentioned it at a meeting when you were helping them because they wanted you to testify against the three rush russians. You wrote an op ed for the wall street journal and you said the fbi spying ruined my good name. You write my experience should be a warning, after a year of round the clock surveillance under fisa wants, ive never been charged with a crime. If senators dont demand answers theyre inviting intelligence agencies to use surveillance powers. As the Supreme Court warned, the price of lawful public dissent must not be a dread of subjectings to unchecked power. You were spied on for more than a year. They had to keep renewing the application. Jim comey signed the application three times. Andrew mccabe signed another a mri case foapplication. Sally yates signed an application. Rod rosenstein signed an application to reup the surveillance on you. Theres so much, maria. I sometimes didnt agree with the new york times. Even on the front page today, they call it in the News Analysis a disturbing peek at u. S. Surveillance. We heard that from both sides of the aisle yesterday. I think a realization of what a serious problem this is for our country, for our u. S. Intelligence community, and for really problematic in a Judiciary Committee context, our u. S. Court system. Major problem. Maria let me ask you what youre going to do about it. Youre going to sue is it the media . Who are you suing specifically . I have a pending i was talking about the Second Circuit case. Things didnt go so well thus far but i think the news which has come out and really the false pleadings of the u. S. Department of justice, i think what we heard from attorney general barr over the last couple days is a deep realization, similar to democrat and republican senators and congressmen from both sides of the aisle, that there was a terrible thing that happened and, you know, i think theres a lot more that needs to be done. Were going to take this right up to the Supreme Court is our plan right now and theres a lot more followup. Maria what are your expectations in terms of this lawsuit . Who are you suing . Theres a few. Its a little early days. I mean, thats a massive document that our very strong team of attorneys i will have more to announce on that in the coming weeks. Maria is it the mead why . Are you going to sue the media . The initial lawsuit which we talked about last time was the broadcasting board of governors which is now u. S. Agency for global media, as well as the Parent Company of yahoo news which was throughout this report was a major driver with steele and the defamatory report which came out. Maria and the yahoo report threw your name out there in the public when not many people knew what you were doing and as a result of that you got death threats, you started living like a hermit. I had no wikpedia page at all. I was an unknown figure. And then a couple hours later, after this report, this is breaking news on friday, september 23rd, 2016, just six weeks before the election. I mean, real election interference. And all of a sudden im this infamous public figure. Maria who do you blame the most for all of this . You know, i think, again, theres i think congressman nunes has talked about this, about conspiracy. I think it is a real racket. Maria so the fbi, the people at the top of fbi and the cia you blame the most. Well see. Maria im asking a question, who do you blame the most . My initial lawsuit was against the dnc or in a beyond the media, i had the media maria that paid for the dossier, that was the reason that they were able to get the warrant to spy on you. With their law firm, perkins, kouey. Maria lead me run this sound bite, senator crapo yesterday with Michael Horowitz. Got to get your reaction. Listen to this. I understand why people would be skeptical of that. There is such a range of conduct here that is inexplicable and the answers we got were not satisfactory, that were left trying to understand how could all these errors have occurred over a ninemonth period or so among three teams, handpicked, one of the highest profile if not the highest profile case in the fbi, going to the top of the organization, going to a president ial campaign. I understand that. I appreciate that. I think it is explicable. I understand that you cant or at least arent going to make that jump. Its crazy. Again, tip of the iceberg. Theres so much specific problematic things that are happening here, you know. Where do you even begin . Maria carter, you handled this incredibly well. You were surveilled unlawfully for over a year, part of an effort to take down a political rival, paid for by Hillary Clinton. We appreciate you coming out and well be watching the situation. And i appreciate your incredible reporting and your whole team at fox news and fox business, its really helped expose this from the very beginning. Maria thank you, carter. Carter page, joining us.

Breaking news right now, the European Central bank leaving Interest Rates unchanged. This is Christine Lagardes first decision as president of the ecb. Markets are picking up steam in europe on the heels of this. It wasnt really expected that she would do anything with the rates but there is an expectation that it will be more stimulus to come in other forms. Futures right now, the fq100 is up 36 points, cac in paris is up just 1 point, the dax index higher by 5. Then this, disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein is reaching a tentative deal with his accusers. Cheryl casone with headlines now. Cheryl the settlement is worth 47 million with 25 million going to women accusing weinstein of sexual misconduct. The rest will go to lawyers and creditors. The payout is funded by Insurance Companies that represent weinsteins former studio, the weinstein company. Also under the deal, weinstein will not have to admit guilt. Bankruptcy judge has to approve the deal in total. Well, lie lululemon reporting br than expected earnings last night. The stock is down about 4 . Still, 2. 24 and change. The mens business, though, is growing, about 38 we should say at lulu. The ceo commented specifically on the amount of money that men are spending at lululemon for themselves on shorts, pants and shirts. Same store sales in general up 17 . The expect was 14. 4 . The outlook is a problem. Finally, think before you eat. A new Study Suggests that additional labeling on food could help curb the obesity crisis. This would show how much exercise you need to burn off calories if this was to become reality. For example, you would have to run for 22 minutes to erase a chocolate bar. So far, theres limited evidence that people are going to Pay Attention to any of this because you know, at the same time, you order a coke and they tell you its x calories in new york and some people just get two. Nobody seems to Pay Attention. Maria its important, its a good reminder. Cheryl, thank you.

Maria were interested in the amount of Job Opportunities there are in Cyber Security. Thats what you were saying. Theres such a skills gap. Tell us about the skills gap, how you find people and i mean, these are really high paying jobs and theyre not being filled. Thats correct there are estimated to be 1 million unfilled roles in technical Cyber Security at the moment and the starting salary is 80,000. You dont need a college education, you just need a an understanding of technical aspects and a thirst for he he developing Cyber Security knowledge. Arent you suggesting there is an endless demand right now for Cyber Security efforts, intelligence, approaches, et cetera. But my impression is, no matter what companies and individuals do, the bad guys are always out in front. I mean, its sort of like there is almost no safety online. I think its sad but i think thats true. Attackers are highly motivated to continually learn every day and try new techniques to help them accomplish their mission and they can continue to do that unaboughted and therefore unabated. Were always reacting and trying to keep up because we dont have the luxury of time. Can you give us an example or two of things that actually happened and your response to it . Absolutely.

The house Judiciary Committee debating articles of impeachment against President Trump again today. The final step before those articles are brought to the house floor for a full vote. Lawmakers held a late night session yesterday to mark them up and democrats are insisting that they must remove President Trump. Republicans are arguing that they are afraid of losing the election in 2020. We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the president threatens the very integrity of that election. Nor can we sit on our hands while the president undermines our National Security. I know theyre desperate. You know how i know it . Adam schiffs own words yesterday. We cant go to court, that would take too long. An election is coming. No, adam, what you need to continue to say is, we cant beat him next year. The only thing we need is a 30 second commercial saying we impeached him. Thats the wrong reason to impeach somebody and the American People are seeing through this. Maria joining me right now is the house Judiciary Committee member, guy refreshe reshenthal. You were in the room in much of this in terms of the impeachment push. Where are we today and tell us what the rest of the next couple weeks looks like in terms of impeachment. Well, yesterday what we had was we had opening statements. And today were actually going to do whats called the markup and thats where we put amendments on bills and this resolution. So youre going to see us trying to put some amendments on the two articles today and those two articles are abuse of power and obstruction of congress. But yesterday i argued that the democrats are only doing this because they cant beat the president on the merits. Remember, the economy is red hot. Unemployment is at 5 0 50 year. When it comes to abuse of power and obstruction of congress, the one that abused power is adam schiff and those that are obstructing congress are the democrats in the committee. They voted down the motion to subpoena the whistleblower. That to me is obstruction of congress. Dagen its dagen mcdowell. What happened to bribery. At least that would be a high crime, again, in these two articles of impeachment, these arent actual criminal acts. What happened with bribery is it morphed again. I say this because the abuse of power charge is what i would call the vestageo the quid pro quo. When that didnt poll right, the language changed to bribingery. The democrats cant make out the elements of the crime of bribery so now its a very vague term, abuse of power. The end of the day, this is going nowhere because president zelensky did not know aid was being withheld when the president spoke. There was no investigation that the ukrainians conducted. And remember, aid was eventually given to the ukrainians, javelin missiles. Obama gave the ukraines blankets and well wishes. President trump gave them javelin missiles. There are 31 as you know members of the House Democrats from districts that President Trump carried in 2016. How many of those do you expect will break ranks from the caucus and vote to try to keep their jobs instead of going with the caucus . I wouldnt want to be in the shoes of those 31 democrats in what we call battleground districts. Theyre boxed into a choice. They can either vote with their district which supports the president or they can vote with aoc. I think that as cynical as ive been through this process, i think well only peel off of a few of them, five or certain. A week ago, i didnt think pelosi had the votes for impeachment. They have ways to twist arms. Theyre making the 31 democrats choose between representing the people who sent them to washington, d. C. Or represent the far left wing of the democrat party. Maria especially since the American People are going to vote for their next president in next than a year. So to take him out, to try to take him out before the American People speak is pretty extraordinary. The other big story, Michael Horowitz testified yesterday on the origins of th russia probe d the abuse in front of the fisa court. They said while the fbi may have had a valid reason to start its robprobe, there were several failures in the investigation, 17 failures they called mistakes in terms of the fisa applications. So much exculpatory evidence where they did not include the evidence to the fisa court such as Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier, the dossier was largely the reason that they were using to justify getting a warrant on carter page. Your reaction to what took place yesterday . Im really disturbed by what i heard yesterday. Ive got to say, i was focused primarily in the Judiciary Committee but what i was hearing from the senate was that there were Serious Problems with the fisa process. We need to review that. We also need to remember that the folks that brought the information to the fisa court, as you said, withheld e exculpatory evidence. Thats very disturbing. You have to remember their political bias was never brought forth. These are the same folks that were saying they needed an insurance policy on President Trump, the same people that were tweeting live the resistance. And that was never given to the courts and it was never given to the sai court that the person that started all this was a Foreign Agent thats was paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Maria yeah. I mean, i dont know why anyone is actually questioning whether or not the fbi surveilled carter page and the Trump Campaign. I mean, we should stop dancing around this. Obviously, carter page was spied on for more than a year and it was an opportunity for this kabal of individuals to get behind the curtain of the so place. Why would str folks not give in, typically if fbi knows someone is a target, a foreign spy given a defensive briefing that was never done instead cab a. M. Of the fbi upper echelons used it as invitation to stie on Trump Campaign at he domestic Political Campaign should disturb everybody. Congressman i know you are in the u. S. Who, but in the senate, do you get what kind of a sentiment do you find among Senate Democrats how enthusiastic or lack of it for this whole impeachment thing . I have been surprised by senate some leaders. I i dont think they are very happy with what some polling especially for president ial campaign coming up. Pelosi gave them a mess to deal with, i think that a lot of democrats will vote not to remove the president , you got to remember bipartisan vote this process has been not to go forward with inquiry i think the bipartisan vote not to impeach the president in the house certainly not remove the president but just wait until reality sets in with senators this is going to be a trial they have to got to be at desk at least six hours a day, no cell phone they are going to have to sit there cant be on campaign trail for those running for president just waiting until reality sets in we will see how democrat candidates running against the president handle this impeachment trial. Dagen remaineded about that yesterday you saw Kamala Harris ask questions and amy klobuchar. Kamala dropped out free time on hands in washington. For sure. Ami Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders do you think congressman that they will give, say, Chuck Schumer an are aful nancy pelosi about you are stacking the deck against us pushing forward. I dont think there is too much that Chuck Schumer can do in this situation nancy pelosi House Democrats have really boxed candidates in, once impeachment goes to the senate they can dismiss it or take it off it is nondiscretionary they have to vote once impeachment starts everything shuts down democrats have been saying they can walk and chew gum at the same time has not been true in the house. In senate definitely not true rules preclude it will this is like a trial they have to sit is there deal with it wont be on campaign trail, so what they are saying to schumer i dont know but should be upset with nancy pelosi, and House Democrats, for putting them in the situation also, democrats i have heard in house when is they want a censure vote it is too late for that far left radical base has pushed nancy pelosi democrats in a situation going to have to vote congressman in the house vote senators have to sit in a trial. Does this threaten Nancy Pelosis inspectorship come 2020 can republicans gain back the house . You are not get a lot done what about Government Shutdown house needs to pass he Appropriations Bills before friday to make that happen no shutdown there is hope after defense spending gill was given green light yesterday what are your expectations object the budget are we going to see another continuing resolution . What about her inspectorshspect. Two things i dont want a Government Shutdown i dont think anybody does why did not we pass a budget months ago, this argument they can walk and chew game at the same time we have have not funded government have not fubed military, as far as nancy pelosi speakership i think at risk we republicans in the house are going to take back house in 2020 you have 3 vulnerable 3 vulnerable democrats seats we can pick up i think coming back stronger than ever i think you are see a speaker Kevin Mccarthy come 2020. Good to talk with you, thank you, british voters continue to head to the pols this is the third general election in less than five years Ashley Webster on the ground in london with the latest.

This is an exclusive i would like to thank you very much for joining us we have maria a bunch of farmers watching this live i got to get straight to news xts expecting trade meeting i want i havent seen reports delays toward december 15 tariffs you were adamant it is going to happen am i missing something.

Would he would love resolution i wish hopefully china has given issues on the farmers on soybeans and nooshing have relaxation maybe good faith signal we hope i want is. We are going to continue i want to have maria journey mass a question. Specifically. Secretary great do see you thank you so much for joiningl join us i want to ask about praise of food i know pork prices are soaring in china. And i am being told by my sources that this is going to ripple through, that you are going to see price of pork up big you are going to see price of chicken all sorts of meat as a result of what is taking place in china, youve got the swine flu there i am also told by sources, that there are 250 million sick pigs in china, issue officially they wanted to kill those permission they o dont want 250 million pigs floating in the river, so my source told me they sent them to the slaughterhouse made meat after all humans cant get sick because you are eating a diseased pig is that true . Some of that is true obviously, herd decimated in china, there is creating a pork shortage, and a shortage in china, obviously, we are in Global Supply chain that may have impact here but United States customers for years ask consumers benefited from he lower food prices than anywhere in the world where there may be some bump up we dont think impactful to American Consumer. 2020 around the are oner. Are we going to see if this ripples through other foods are we going to see price of food see an impact from the soaring inflation we are seeing in china does it hit chicken frequency for example. I dont think we will see a huge impact, great deal of america we may see some little increase in prices but we dont think will be significant our American Farmers are so productive they can keep up. Maria you are very optimistic what about subsidies for 2020 another round because a lot of farmers here talking about that. Farmers rather he trade in an if we get trade. I if we dont. Well we will have to see the president obviously, very generous raft couple years called me when we had with china deal in april said we are going off to to do it again, he is prepared if need be we are not looking forward would rather have trade. Secretary before you go. One more. Okay. Secretary before you go, did you okay, did you get a hard commitment from china to buy up to 50 billion dollars in ag products because they are saying we never said that. The problem is that is they dont want to say that outright. They estimated to the president 2w40e7b and 50 billion dollars when it comes to deal that is a problem china wants to commit behind door dont want to put out like we have to do in contracts that is part of the challenge. All right. We are going to wrap it up. Thank you very much. Maria, back to you. All day with farmers thank you very much. We are coming back to you i want more farmers in the background there looks quite active, and two pieces of nice, the agricultural secretary doesnt think food prices are going to have big impact from 250 million sick pigs swine flu in china he said chinese committed to buying the ag products not saying it here, we are going to talk china and huawei race toward 5g next.

Maria welcome back, a don zeal auto workers Fiat Chrysler agreement green lightingr four year pact includes investing billions in u. S. Manufacturing Fiat Chrysler lastly of tloo big three to close with a union marked by 40day strike against General Motors, former ford ceo mark is with us great to have you thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. What did you think about that done deal. It is very strong contract for the uaw and workers, i mean if you think about it they have a situation, unlike any other workers in america, means over next four years they have garntdz raises bonuses, health care not going up so that is pretty strong they got commitments product commitments, at the same token General Motors still retain the ability to put product where they want to which is administer over time overall you know given, the whole corruption probe that is going on, in uaw you could consider it a success for the workers. Dagen. Dagen now i want to ask mark about electric vehicles because the porsche same out has all electricity, cost over 00,000 dollars we knew they had 30,000 reservations for the car but 10,000 or one third Customers Put in from orders tesla not the only game in town, and does this change the outlook for electric vehicles porsche created this from scratch didnt go out buy. It you have to put in perspective porsche playing in neighborhood from pricing standpoint, and customers that are going after tesla is. The key question is what happens when he electrification in mass market in the case of Porsche Tesla has competition in the marketplace for their vehicles, at that market that they are playing in. Dagen to put in perspective 30 tloifshgs 10,000 firm orders only expected to make 20,000 of these cars next year, so they are in essence close to being oversold. Zbleep what is going to happen on fuel standards . What is going to be on that, the administration put in standards picked numbers out of air 54. 5, 2025 sounded precise about it air stuff where is that going to go . Made cars more unsafe. Overall, improving fuel economy every oem committed to that customers want that, i think obviously, as you know the administration, right now is pushing to roll back, some of the obama era requirements put in place. They still have not kind of decided that yet. At the same time, you have four automakers that have cut a deal so to speak, with the state of california to let less stringent requirements than obama administration. Importantly those were nonbinding commitments to california this is going to play out probably next couple months. Subsidies, for electronic wekz what is going is that going to get renewed. In a is a big question, anywhere where they have been rolled back, the sales of electrified vehicles plummeted, if you look at china for example they started rolling back their subsidies about four months ago. Since then yearoveryear electric vehicles in china which is a bypassing objective of the Chinese Government have been down between 30 and 40 . Maria let me ask you about the tariff situation the speculation that europe uk after brexit is going to be in crosshairs in terms of a deal with United States, give us your your views on cars coming from europe, vehicles from europe, and how that plays into the Competitive Landscape what would would tariff on european vehicle mean if we were to see that . Well. And increase in tariffs. What you would see for the vehicles that are imported into u. S. From europe primarily luxury vehicles you are going to see prices go up. Mercedes, bmw. You will see prices on those vehicles go up could impact marketplace the other impact is also parts that are coming over engines that are coming over from europe to that are used for assembly in north america. So those Component Parts prices could go up depending upon how the tariff is p you the in place. U. S. Automakers would raise price of a car. Would try push that on to consumer if they cant going to have to eat it margins going to suffer. As head of former major auto company in the United States that has been pressure from your standpoint in terms of having vehicles come into the market and taking share from ford for example have you he seen that end of it . Playing in a little bit different part of the marketplace because when you look at types of vehicles that are coming soefr from daimler, bmw porsche sets u. S. Automakers and running forward we didnt really kind of play in that market with the exception, of lincoln brand so it caused some pressure, but overall it will have impact on overall industry. Dagen the argument the chick tax on light trucks imported into United States has given uas you automakers cover to keep their truck suv prices high i know President Trump thinks that chicken tax works was over a poultry fight with europe, by the way, that is why it is called that so again has been a benefit to u. S. Aurlts last 50 someodd years. It has at the same time, the foreign automakers have dwelled pickup trucks in the u. S. Built them here made very little progress when you look at competitiveness of ford, gm, and ram tariffs have nothing to do with it they are competitive dominate the market looking at prices on producer level november ppi out Lauren Simonetti with numbers, over to you. Maria, inflation clearly not an issue here, the november ppi how much will businesses paid to stock shelves unchanged expecting twotenths percent rise yearoveryear 1. 1 lower than expected, looking at the core, minus food energy volatile components it fell. 2 was expected to rise by. 2 . And, finally, your core yearoveryear number also light 1. 3 expected to be 1. 6 , so again market trading down on this report inflation maria not showing up in months in. All right we got an unchanged number, and markets are actually worse right now than we saw earlier, dow industrials down 63 points did you have a comment dagen. Dagen what are jobless claims with tight labor market you want insight into the election next year you want to watch the job market, whether layoffs are picking up at all. We put jobless numbers on screen i believe because out right now may be that we got market that is lower this morning, but certainly, not a major impact. Dagen up a little bit 252000 for initial jobless claims a number to watch not worrisome but much higher than expectations.

It starts acting in my body from the first dose. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk.

S. Chief Security Officer andy purdy welcome back thanks for joining us. Tell me about the deal with germany, how huawei will has secured this commitment to build 5g infrastructure. This is really part of the Effort European Union is doing germany is doing use quite a bit input from you why states to make shower factors are secured where company is headquarters, manufactured how product is evaluated how product is used how it is accessed later for repairs so forth. Weve talked about back doors in huawei equipment where date goes back to Chinese Government, and that is part of the issue, for the United States, certainly, and others you got a o growing number of canadians opposing huawei 5g bid as china hardens stance there is a poll i want reaction to it says that 6 respondents believe ottawa should reject huawei bid to construct next Generation Infrastructure would dramatically ubincrease the speed. If we acted what public says in surveys could lose out potential he innovation could go ahead threaten tens of thousands american jobs here, if fact is we are prepared to prove that our products are not subject to undue influence of chin government prepared to prove that when we are servicing equipment that we are not subject to the undo influence of china government can put in place mechanisms that can prove that. We talked about this before we know what Civil Military fusion is that is basically, a rule a law in china that any innovations any Technology Needs to first go to military, it is basically says huawei is a military company like any other company. Given the sophistication of nation states like china as admiral former head of Public Safety Homeland Security said we cant employee distracted we have to do what is necessary to make america save chinese can hack into Nokia Ericsson products we need o mechanisms to provide assurance transparency there are no back doors in our products or ours. Wait a second no back doors we know there are back doors andy weve gone through this 10 times we know from several situations, whether it be tmobile, cisco ive got the list of back doors date goes back to the Chinese Government and, by the way, you say, weve got to make sure, that, you know, we fight this, Civil Military fusion tells everybody that you cant fight what are you going to say to xi jinping sorry dont worry about our social credit score . There are so key disagree on. There are social Credit Scores that are given to corporations not just individuals, what is your social credit score so that we can debate forever we can agree to disagree. You can kick my butt all over the studio and you can jump up and down until you turn blue the fact is i am telling you we can put in place mechanisms can guarantee no back doors in products to guarantee Chinese Government cant force to us steal data from customers that is objective facts we can approve. Here is my facts civilmilitary fusion in china against the law, not to comply with with Chinese Communist party the Chinese Communist Party Members on your Board Chairman of the board in fact there is a social credit score for are kwhoorpgs are you going to del xi jinping. What we are going to tell him what we tell the rest of the world that we the rest of the world with world he o hopefully European Union going to do this need mechanisms doesnt ballot chinese flying around if satellites the fact is we can test products as a performer Principal Deputy to director of National Intelligence said they can test products for back doors if you test for back doors china government cannot have put back doors in or they would be found. That is the point they were found after they said there are no back doors the backdoor was found in tmobile in italy backdoor in at you other products you say no back doors we find them then let me address that. We talked about this, the issue about vodafone italy fake news it was originally wrongly reported by vodafone you said we corrected it no vodafone italy later said we were mistaken iment was access. Assess i encourage you call your relatives in italy. You can use my phone have them call vodafone. Im not going to use your phone. Have them call vodafone italy will tell you the truth, vodafone says we did not put in back doors in that product. When will huawei be moving entire supply chain to china on orders by the Chinese Government . I dont know any such orders. Huawei is moving its entire supply chain to beijing, as ordereded by Chinese Government. The chief Security Officer andy how do you not know this. I never heard that before. You are not moving so this is this is a fact you are not moving your entire supply chain to china. That is right 30 supplies come from china the rest from all over the world we used to have 30 from america weve got 40,000 american jobs depending on so it hopefully we cannot cut off nose to spite face we want to hurt china so much willing to threaten american jobs it is notness. Who is willing to hurt america saying we are not going to allow 300 companies to continue to supply, huawei, that is not case any of those xoenlts have National Security significance, what were willing to do we want to hurt china so much competition between chinau. S. We are willing to threaten 40,000 americans, that is crazy. I dont know about hurting china as much as it is about protecting the United States, for example, give me huaweis role in the tracking of chinese citizens. You facial recognition scammers all over china are they huawei cameras. I dont have any idea. You are security chief of huawei you do you want have any idea facial recognition examiners route china huawei role tracking citizens are huawei is huawei equipment in the gulag where one million uighurs are locked up. We smell third tatter we sell a cameras to them right now capitol hill doing important work on facial recognition, it is not public yet they are trying to figure out if facial recognition has false positives can skriement against minorities, so they are trying to come up with standards, independent a great idea to say what works what doesnt who can you sell these to who should you not sell these to a good thing. A very good thing a good point i ways talking to somebody about facial recognition told me there is about, i am going to ask you how much pictures do you think there are out there, of beams faces, i mean you talk 300 plus Million People in america, 1. 2, 1. 3 billion in china how many pictures would you say the database is of peoples facial recognition pictures . Got to be trillions i would think. Trillions because like andy purdy in rain walking out of house Maria Bartiromo walking out of house Maria Bartiromo in snow right trillions of pictures. I think so, yeah. That is remarkable, the other question do you support the concept of civilmilitary fusion . I do not support it is not our understanding that we have to turn over technology to Chinese Government that is not what our leadership says. Isnt chairman of your company a communist member. A i believe he is why yes. How are you not forced to turn over everything to chinese leadership when you know that you are getting a credit score, in terms of the way you operate, the company will get a credit score the end of the year, you have to comply what are you going to say to leadership in china if you were not complying andy. He and the rest of the leadership have said that we have never been asked to we have not had to turn over that data. Let me ask. There is a new rule in china right now, that is the militia cybersecurity rules, gordan chang rights after all rules in place no Foreign Company may encrypt date no, it cannot be red by Chinese Government. They will be required to turn over encryption keyes. What do new rules mean. They dont mean anything to us we are not on data or Chinese Government know to share information with state enterprises will be able to use this information, against their foreign competitors, this was just a fact. Our company is not subject to any law that requires us to unencrypt data turn over to Chinese Government.
