Cheryl a fed rate hike is in question in the economys tugofwar. We are less than an hour to the closing bell. Im Cheryl Casone in for liz claman today. Lets start the countdown . Well, the markets are looking to close out the week on a high note following the august jobs report which came in lower than expected. The three major averages all on track to close higher for the week. Take a look at s p, the dow and the nasdaq, green numbers there. The move to the chip isnt working out for verifone.

We begin with breaking news regarding the fbi release of documents behind the clinton email server investigation. On a friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend. Blake burman standing by with the Details Behind the documents from the fbi investigation are telling us. You have gone through these, what are you finding, blake . Reporter there are two batches, you are right this was released the day before a Labor Day Holiday. 11 pages in entirety redacted. The other badge about 11 pages in its own right which much of it is details the interview that Hillary Clinton had with the fbi. A couple different points as weve been going through this all. The fbi says Hillary Clinton could not give an example how classification of a document was determined. Much of this a theme that critics will hit on is just how concerned Hillary Clinton and her aides were at handling classified information, the level of the information and how it should be dealt with. In another example, they say Hillary Clinton could not recall any briefing or training by the state department relating to the retention of federal records or handling information. Clinton requested a secure blackberry while at state but her request was not out of concern for the sensitivity of the information on then current device. They also say clinton was not aware of state employee expressing concerns her email server was not compliant. There was one after the next here, of course one of the outstanding questions through all of this, was her system hacked . Was somebody able to tap into it . The fbi says they dont believe so but they dont have all of the information out there to determine it. It appears that clinton, as all of this was going on, had concerns that it could be the case. Let me quote you one passage of this report. They say the fbi, quote, in a separate incident, abedin sent an email to somebody who has been redacted, indicating clinton worried someone hacking into her email given she received an email from a known associate containing a link to a website with pornographic material. It goeston say open Source Information indicated that if opened the targeted users device would have been infected and sent information to three computers overseas including one in russia. That question whether or not her email was hacked into is an outstanding one. And if i might, because we just got this statement from the clinton campaign. Heres what they said, quote, they said we are pleased that the fbi released the materials from Hillary Clintons interview, as we had requested. While her use of a single email account was clearly a mistake and she has taken responsibility for it, these materials made clear by the Justice Department believe there was no basis to move forward with the case. Thats what theyre saying, you have the rnc calling this a devastating indictment. Cheryl i know, great minds think alike. We got a statement from Reince Priebus from the rnc and saying fbi summary of interview with Hillary Clinton is a devastating indictment of her judgment, honesty and basic competency and he goes on, were covering this more throughout the show. I wanted to get that in as well. Blake burman, thank you very much, sir. Reporter thanks, cheryl. Cheryl well have much more with our political panel. We want to move onto other breaking news weve been covering today. Hermine hammering northern florida bringing torrential rain, howling winds and dangerous flooding after making landfall at 1 30 a. M. Eastern time. This storm wobbling towards georgia at this hour. Have you Power Outages leaving tens of thousands of households in the dark. One man confirmed dead after being struck by a tree, this happened in Marion County in North Central florida. Florida state officials are awaiting official confirmation from a medical Examiners Office if the man did die as a result of this storm. Lets bring in Steve Harrigan with more details. Steve . Reporter cheryl, quite a difference today. Sunny, light breeze out. For many people in cedar key, about the 700 who live here, a challenging day as well. People going through the wreckage what the storm has left behind. Ill step out of the way, you can take a look at condos along a lower lying street pounded hard by the ninefoot storm surge, much higher than predicted. They thought it was three feet, turned out to be nine. That storm came ashore about 1 30 in the morning with 80mileperhour winds. Though there was a mandatory evacuation in effect, many people here used to being around water decided to try and ride that out. This was a category 1 hurricane overall, and the first storm here in florida of that magnitude in the past 11 years. As theyre cleaning up, seeing what they can salvage from the wreckage too, its hard day to day life so far for many people here, for 200,000 people without electric power and water a concern as well. One woman told us a short time ago, she took a bath before the storm began, she has a neighbor with a pool. Shes hoping to get relief soon. Cheryl thank you so much for that life report. Appreciate it sir. We want to move to something else, tied to the storm, oil is fighting for a comeback, rising 1. 10, more than 2 1 2 . Part of this was the weak jobs report as you have the production shutdown in the gulf. Crude on track for one of the biggest weekly losses since the month of january. Deutsche bank says the pain is over. A note today from chief International Economist declaring Americas Energy shock well behind us. Right to the floor show, traders at the new york stock exchange, the cme group and the nymex. I want to go to Jeffrey Grossman at the nymex, comments from the bank sir . Again, i have to say the worst is over here. We are struggling, no question about it because the inventory reports have been no help whatsoever. We havent drawn gasoline at all the entire summer which was everyones expectations, needless to say were awash in oil. But again ive heard talk out of russia, i think were going to have consolidation with the opec nations later, so maybe we overdid it a little this week on the downside and todays retracement, seems in line with the market that may have seen the worst of it, thats for sure. A market under pressure, no question about it, and really until were about another couple of dollars higher, this market is still in bear territory right now. Cheryl all the markets reacting to the jobs report. We. Certain things about this, we have thomas perez coming up, the labor secretary. We are about flat lining with last year. We dont have the volume we need for job creation. The good news for you, this holds off the fed. I dont know if thats good news, the market is waiting for, it were anticipating and not going to trade before we get it. We know its coming whether its september or december. This is the biggest month of revisions, looking for september to be revised, so the fed is boxing the corner here and i dont think they can do anything to alleviate the lack of clarity that we have down here. Trish interesting, we shall see. Chris robinson looking for futures for a rate hike, is december the bet today more so than yesterday . Yeah, if you look its tone, 55 is a coin flip. People on the floor leaning towards the fact, i think they dont do anything, they talk a good game and i dont think they do anything until we get to the election. Well see. That could change. Todays numbers really werent enough to really spur any big decision, and you saw the action in the bonds. We had a whipsaw and well see how we move forward, but certainly nothing earth shattering today. Cheryl chris robinson, matt, Jeffrey Grossman, get started on the holiday weekend. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Cheryl well, you want to tune into wall street week at 8 00 p. M. Eastern time. Anthony scaramucci and Gary Kaminsky and trish regan will be there, and stick around for stossel, 9 00 p. M. Eastern time, that is tonight. Taking a look at dow on friday, apple leading the way. Are we getting an iphone 7 next week . Think we might be getting one. Thats the rumor. Markets reacting to the august jobs report. It didnt live up to expectations. Does that mean the American Economy is headed for a slowdown . We are going to ask labor secretary tom perez, here he is, and hes joining me after a quick commercial break. Well be back, youre watching countdown.

It will eliminate your monthly mortgage payments and give you taxfree cash from the equity in your home and heres the best part. You still own your home. Take control of your retirement today . To me the biggest problem is the most important ingredient is left out, that is the market value of these jobs. 150,000, but in a nutshell what weve done is replace great highpaying jobs with lowerwage jobs which provide no benefit. Were focused on a lot of the wrong thing. Cheryl that was former Goldman Sachs partner on varney earlier today. So just how much of an impact has this had on our economy and why arent we focusing more on this aspect of the jobs report . U. S. Economy adding 151,000 jobs in august while the Unemployment Rate was unchanged at 4. 9 . While the august jobs report undershot expectations by the most of any month since 2010, attribute this to a slow summer month or a trend throughout the rest of the year. Joining me now the secretary of labor, thomas perez, sir, thank you for being here, appreciate it. Happy labor day to everybody. Cheryl this is your day and week as well. I want to ask you about the comment that peter brought up that were creating the wrong types of jobs, Service Sector jobs, low paying jobs, is the wage story going to change . Are we going to see wages grow, sir . I couldnt disagree more with peter. I dont know what facts hes looking at. At the beginning of this recovery we had disproportion at creation of lowrage jobs, that happens when you have a recovery. You look at the last two to three years and the growth disproportionately in areas of middle and upper level jobs. You look at sectors that have grown the most is education and health. Good middleclass jobs, business and professional services thats the secretary highest over the last year, you look at financial services, thats been growing. 200,000 construction jobs over the last year. Im not sure what data hes looking at. Thats simply incorrect. Not only have we seen quantity of jobs grow, weve had 71 months in a row of job growth but seen in the last two to three years tremendous growth in the quality of jobs. Those are the facts. Cheryl so you disagree with mr. Kiernan, but i want to ask you this, the market, especially today with the numbers that were seeing, seems to think because of the jobs number and they think its weak, well have a delayed rate hike from the federal reserve. Markets are thinking that way. I want you to listen to something that David Rubenstein told my colleague Anthony Scaramucci and i want to get your reaction on the other side. Interest rates have been kept very low, and i think the fed would like to change that, they have telegraphed they would like to increase but havent found the time to do it. I suspect the markets feel they doll it this year. My own view is december rather than september. Who really knows . Cheryl he runs the carlyle group, the cofounder there. Because of the jobs report as well, the environment we have with the labor, this is pushing the fed out . Well, again, ive had a longstanding practice of not commenting on the fed. Theyre very smart people and make the best judgment. What i can comment on is where were at. In the last three months, weve had 232,000 jobs on average. A good summer, excellent june, excellent july. A solid august, not as good as june and july but a solid summer. You look at where we are at this point in the recovery, we are basically where we would expect. The closer you get to the summit of the mountain of full employment. What you tend to see is the pace of job growth slows. Were more than twice as many jobs a month above what we need to sustain Unemployment Rates, and then you start to see the pace of wages grow, and this year annualized growth rate is 2. 8 , over 12 months, 2. 4 . Were starting to see the wage growth and need to do more of it. Cheryl we need it. The whole eschew of stubborn wage growth is a 30 year phenomenon with a few years of exception. And were seeing that. Weve got more work to do, got to make sure the wind thats at our back results in prosperity for everyone and not prosperity for the few at top. Cheryl we are out of time. We would like to see the Labor Force Participation rate get back to 66 . Were hoping we get there. Do me a favor, help us pass paid family leave and sensible child care laws. Thats how we can increase Labor Force Participation. Every other country figured it out. Our politics in washington couldnt let us do it. I couldnt agree with you more but we know what to do, and unfortunately its a partisan issue here. Thats how we get more women in the workplace. Cheryl hot topic for corporations and thats what we cover at fox business. Thomas perez, thank you. Happy labor day. Cheryl to you, too. Thank you. The market saw the jobs report and thought, yeah, the fed is not acting any time soon. There you go. Up 69 points. 18,488 on the dow. The stock lululemon taking a beating after a lu lu of quarterly report, missing estimates and giving soft guidance, up as much as 46 this year. I like their pants, i dont know what to say to you all.

Da wansted forr foball coacwithhe mmi dphin and pittsburgh and joins us from loss. These match ups are brutal at beginning of the season. Why is that . They are. We have a game friday night, kansas state versus stanford. But i think, cheryl, a lot of things have changed. Number one, when you look at College Football, the College Football playoff started a year ago, it really now puts a lot more pressure on teams to play schools in power 5 conferences, the other thing that happens in College Football, you dont have any preseason games. A lot of these kids playing for the first time, whether true fresh men or red shirt freshmen, first time in live game action. There is real uncertainty what they are going to do. The underdogs have the advantage. They go in with the attitude nothing to lose and run plays and do things that the other Team Definitely has not seen before. Cheryl we seen some changes with how the rankings are tallied throughout the year and that has happened last couple years. Does this have to do with how we rank College Football teams . If you meet at end of the year, committee decides what four teams competing for the national championship, if youre, if youre sitting at number 6 oar number 7, youre, very unlikely you jump into the top 4 category. It is real important early in the year, to get as many wins as you can, to wiyou can. That changed the landscape as far as College Football. Cheryl there is lot of talk about running back Christian Mccaffrey a tom contender for the heisman. What do you think. Last year david shaw, coach at stanford, made a comment the Heisman Trophy is awarded to player with the most impact on the football team. When you look at Christian Mccaffrey, he will be on the game. Well see him. He returnses punts. He returns kickoffs. He is a running back. He is a receiver. He does it all. There will be hefty competition. Clemson who is ranked in the top five. Deshawn watson will be their candidate. Guy from lsu, leonard fornash net, he was runnerup or in the final balloting. He will be a contender before it is over. Cheryl thanks for what youre saying. Cant help to look at your super bowl ring. Good to have you with fox. Thank you, cheryl. Pleasure to be on with you.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13® today. Cheryl breaking news at the top of this hour regarding fbi release of the documents behind the clinton email server investigation. Im joined by adam goodman a republican strategist and Jessica Ehrlich a democratic strategist. I want to get through the emails. We went through emails, a lot of it redacted but whole pages redacted. The fact that they cant find 13 of her blackberry, she does not seem to have a grasp on what is classified information, that is really coming through in these documents, jessica. Well, i mean there is some debate within them as to you know, her asking whether something is classified or not, but i mean that is what her staff is there for to confirm whether or not something, what telephone they are at, you know, my understanding of what it is that she was clarifying within them. So weve seen even since all this has come out actually the state department now has changed classifications to make things, you know, i think it is ongoing situation there where you know, a little bit after bureaucracy things do change in that level. Cheryl and, adam, she also somewhat blamed the concussion she suffered. There were times she just doesnt remember. Is that a problem for someone who is running for president . Well, i think she has learned the value of or meaning of the word, cheryl, today, once youre hacked you cant take it back. The report came out today, said look like russians got their hands on some of this. This is kind of her response to this, cheryl, that is most troubling either callous or dismissive, that should not bother anybody. It should, were talking about some. Most sensitive secrets this country has. This is on the back of all the things we learned over the last couple weeks how she was all but trading influence and money as if she was involved in a firesale on american assets. I think this is a tough week and a tough moment again for Hillary Clinton. She owes us more than again, just kind of back of her hand, weve already talked about that lets get on with something else. Cheryl jessica, these new documents again released on a friday afternoon, going into labor day weekend, from the fbi, i mean, if you read through it starts to back up what james comey fbi director told congress, he was questioning her grasp of what is classified and what is not. Also, jessica, the fact that she really was relying on her aides more than i think we realize in handling of this information. Begin on a private server. Well, i think that is very common with anyone in that level of a position. I worked as staff on the hill for many years as well and for various folks. One of the important things, even donald trump has said this is just surround yourself with competent people that you can rely on because one person can only do so much. Weve seen her travel schedule and meeting schedule and Everything Else that was going on. It is incredible level of intensity, so you have to have good quality people working for you when they send you things you ask them a question and you can rely on their answer and make sure youre getting all the the information you need in order to make the decision. You know, that is what all the staffers are there for. Cheryl okay. Well, i also, as a woman who has never lost a phone, she lost 13 mobile devices and two ipads. I know that, she is secretary of state. I just cant help, okay. I want to switch over, i want to switch over what is going on with donald trump. He is going to be in detroit tomorrow and the New York Times has basically leaked a script that shows that he is going to be meeting with a pastor at, a very prominent black pastor, the q a taped hine closed doors, adam, it is very scripted and his answers to the pastors questions were scripted by his staff. Does this present a perception problem among the Africanamerican Community for donald trump that he cant be trusted with going off script . I dont think so, cheryl for two reasons. One is i think that donald trump has very few opportunities between now and the election to send a very clear message to the Africanamerican Community. And number two, let me tell you what that message is, if may. What have we experienced in this community over last eight years but declining wages, growing gap in terms of wealth. Increasing poverty. Now 46 million across the country by the way, 1. 2 million children spend a day or more in homeless shelter last year. Declining educational standards and increasing violence. There is nothing i can think of that secretary clinton can bring to this community right now, the Africanamerican Community, say look how wonderful the job is. Cheryl im sorry, adam, i asked you about her, i asked you about donald trump. Lets talk about him. Okay. Cheryl look, if you look at the polls, lets be honest he does not rate with africanamericans. She has got that vote. He says that she is not serving the Africanamerican Community, fair enough. But adam, im asking you, does he have a perception problem here with this leak, this leaked script . It seems he might . Im less concerned, cheryl, about the approach that youre talking about. Im more concerned whether or not he is talking about the issues that the Africanamerican Community is looking from, looking for, rather than from donald trump that will make a difference in the election. He does have to send a message to them this is rising tide that will lift all ships what he would do as president of the united states. He hasnt had many opportunities to do this. This is one such opportunity. I think he has to nail it. Cheryl he might in a different way, adam. He may go off script. He is known to do that. Those have been most successful moments and sometimes has not been. Well see what happens tomorrow. Jessica, adam, thanks for being with us. Have a good weekend. Thank you, cheryl. Cheryl a check of your markets really quick. You have the s p in the green. Dow up 77. Were actually gaining ground as we go into the close on this holiday weekend.

This is 294, interstate 294 headed southwest of chicago. Youre right, millions of people on the roads this Labor Day Holiday, mainly because of those low gas prices. 34 million is the number aaa tells us will travel. 89 of all people that will travel this Labor Day Holiday will be going like were going right now, by road, that is up about 2 over last year. We promised to tell you how much money youre saving because of those low gas prices. According to gas buddy, this year, compared to last, you will spend 19 billion, with a b, dollars less on gas, just this past summer.

Demand is up, bigtime. Chevron, exxon, both, yeartodate, doing pretty well. And, the prospect is for these gas prices, cheryl, to continue to be down.

Shares were up a little bit today as shareholders applauded the move, obviously theyre streamlining the production. Worldwide, 5,000 fewer harleydavidson motorcycles, according to the company itself are going to be shipped.

How will the fed read the numbers on the next meeting coming up on the 20th and 21st we have jeffries chief onomt and mark luschini. Thanks to both of you being here. Thanks, cheryl. Cheryl mark, i will start with you. How do you think that the fed will read todays number . I think you can cut a couple different ways. One, it wasnt Strong Enough. Coupled with the ism reading this week that fell below the boombustline, it was the first contraction in six months, it might be enough to persuade monetary officials to wait until december. On the other hand the hawks ma let them get the sep or revision to the dot plot, that so much suggests to the Market Participants there will be no further rate hikes in 2016 and not likely the First Quarter of 2017. But either way i think it was Strong Enough because the hurdle is low enough that the fed goes before the end of the year. Cheryl ward, im curious what you think this report mines for the overall economy and future of the economy . I had thomas perez on earlier, i pointed out, these are not highpaying jobs. Were still not creating highpaying jobs . The labor market data today, really was you described it well, saying it was tepid. We didnt generate as many jobs as we have in recent months. As you point out wage growth is not what we would like to be or see it anyway. I dont think this is the type of data the fed will respond to. I think they needed to see some compelling data like we had in june and july. So i agree, i do think they want to raise rates this year. I think it is much more likely to be december than it is to be september, because, we had a pretty slow first half of the year. It looks like q3 is shaping up to be faster. Think i they want to document that before they respond. Cheryl ward, you thank thank yr backing me up in my comments to thomas perez, because he said the data was wrong. Always good to back up your anchor. Mark, im curious about the economy being handed to the next president . What needs to happen in the next four years . Well i think we need some progrowth policies in place different than what weve seen since the end of the great recession. Weve been in the subtrend pace of Economic Growth of plus or minus 2 he. Over the last half century the u. S. Economy averaged closer to 3 on annual basis. There is a lot of talk about secular stagnation. The fact what we hear from Small Businesses in monthly surveys, talking about too much regulation, too much intervention on part of government, too much imposition of taxes. Some relief on all of those fronts may unlock animal spirits of Business Owners that is now the missing ingredient to amplify Economic Growth in the united states. Consumer is doing all the lifting. Were getting nothing out of the business community. Cheryl ward that is the problem. We had Hillary Clinton wanting to go after drug manufacturers, epipen, more regulation, appoint council. This is what scares businesses. Thats why they dont hire. Is this rhetoric affecting corporations and others that are not spending money to hire for their business. I think it is combination of rhetoric. I think it is more important the policies mark was talking about and we just really do not have a coherent fiscal policy. Central banks and the fed have done what they can do to get this economy afloat. But what we need to see is tax reform. In my opinion, that means lower taxes including on the corporate side where u. S. Corporate taxes are twice what they are in most of the countries that we compete with. Also i think on the consumer side as well, at least simplify the tax code. Yes this is time for the government to take on one of the responsibilities that his historically been government. And that is to update our infrastructure. I take a train every day from new jersey to new york. Cheryl yeah. The bridge was built over 100 years ago. Cheryl there is lot of things we could build. We have to pay for it. Ward and mark. Thank you very much. [closing bell rings] were closing higher by the way. I will hand it over to the labor day weekend, im out of here. David asman. Melissa francis. Melissa all right.

The fbi releasing several dozen pages of documents from its investigation into Hillary Clintons use of personal email during its investigation.
