Investors watching closely whats happening and here in the u. S. Stock market futures right now pointing higher and that could be a good sign for u. S. Stors today, lauren. Lauren and a posive week. Stocks didet some support after it appears President Trump was vindicated in testimony of james comey but trumps lawyer is set to file a barrage of lawsuits. Cheryl and then there is this, hot water again, this time over email about sex rules in a company party. You wont believe that story. Lauren no, you will not, i took a look at the email. Its 5 01 a. M. In new york. Good morning, im left side. Cheryl good morning, everyone, im cheryl casone. We would like to welcome to fbn am, first look at morning markets, breaking news and what to expect for the day ahead. Lauren breaking this morning, political mayhem in the United Kingdom as theresa may is expected to speak any minute now this after her call for an early election backfired, her conservative party lost majority in parliament, potentially disrupting britains negotiations to leave the European Union. British news media saying they will not resign after the election setback, here she is addressing her supporters. At this time more than anything else this country needs a period of stability and if as the indication have shown and this is correct that the conservative party has won the most seats and probably the most votes, then it will be incumbent on us to ensure that we have that period of stability and that is exactly what we will do. Cheryl the results suggest a Hung Parliament with no single party able to secure an absolute majority. Opposition Labour Party Jeremy corbyn is urging may to make way for a new government. People have said they have had quite enough for underfunding health, underfunding our schools and our Education Service and not giving our young people the chance they deserve in our society. Cheryl its fascinating because polls ahead of the vote showed a big gap between conservative and labor party but narrowed considerably in the last few weeks. Lauren joining us to talk about all of this is tom, editorial director of the center for financial alternatives at the cato institute, hey, tom. Good morning. Lauren first of all, are you surprised . What is the future for theresa may and the conservative party . First of all, i am very surprised actually. Yesterday morning i did an average of the last round of all polls, looked like the conservatives were leading by 7, 8 points, that would assume would translate into a majority around 50. That bear in mind is signific antly down even in itself from where the conservatives were at the beginning to have campaign. Theresa may said she wouldnt call an early election and tempted by the fact that she was 16 points ahead in the polls. Her Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn seemed unelectable and if the week or so that lead shut off to 20 points and nsvatives started talking about 100 or more, winning seats in traditional heartland areas where they have been never and in fact, even a few weeks ago when the shine start today come off the conservative campaign a bit, a lot of conservative commentators if theresa may doesnt win a majority of at least 80, this is going to look bad for her. My goodness, the tables have turned. They would have been overjoyed by the time people were going to bed if they would have gotten any majority at all. Cheryl so many implications overnight. Ultimately the question is will she have to resign and i want to let our viewers if we do interrupt, we are waiting comments from theresa may from 10 downing street. Apologizes in advance. What does this mean for the party . Its an interesting one. Not for brexit negotiations in nine or ten days, theresa may would be toast. She would be over. Conservatives in britain are not sentimental about their leader even Margaret Thatcher that was an icon, once she became electoral liability conservatives got rid of her like that. There would be no holding back on theresa may were it not for the fact that we are about to enter into those negotiations and may therefore be difficult for the conservatives to find a new leader in time. I still think thats a cig significant possibility. I suspect theresa may is going to try and stay on. We may not see any moves against her immediately, but i think if parliamentary conservatives were able to coalesce against a singlereplacement candidate and avoiding a lead of contest, it may be that the men in gray suit will come to her and ask her to step aside. It remains to be seen whether thats going to happen. Its a huge blow to her personality authority. You have to bear in mind lauren we are looking at pictures at 10 downing street where we expect theresa may speak. She had a stable majority, her party did in parliament and she called for the snap election three years early and this has been called the worst possible outcome, would you agree . I dont think this is the worst possible outcome. The worst possible outcome for anyone that cares about the economy is the labour party. Their past labor governments who have done a nice job and Jeremy Corbyn is a leftist extremist. He had new spending commitments. His program amounted to basically giving anybody anything they asked for without really concerning himself about how it was going to be paid for. Admittedly he came up with figures that all the money was going to come from taxing taxing the rich and corporations and tax on wealth. Those who understand how taxes work and revenues work, know that there was no way he was going to bring in that kind of money with the taxes he was talking about. So he would have had to raise taxes on the vast wave of the british population, more actually the deficit would have spiraled upwards and upwards and that could have had huge knockon effects in the economy. That disaster has been overted but this is not a happy situation certainly. Lauren it certainly is not, tom, thank you for your time. Cheryl we wait to hear from Prime Minister theresa may who will not be resigning despite calls for her to resign. We are going to take those comments from 10 downing street live. You are looking at live pictures. We want to keep them up but we want to bring in from capitalist pig, jonathan, you talk about Market Reaction, good morning, jonathan. Great to be with you, cheryl, good morning. Cheryl we were looking at predictions overnight of financial turmoil if things went badly for theresa may, you did have the british pound about 2 and come back a little bit and the stock market seemed to be holding up here and across the pond, whats going on, jonathan . We are waiting for another political shoe to drop out. Despite weakness in the british pound which remains localized and you havent seen other major movements in european indices. The stock market continues to stay in. 260, half of that in terms of 50 to be close and stocks by in large continue to do well, citigroup high yesterday, ebay, facebook, Delta Airlines and even in the uk despite not like here, a lot of political turmoil, the uk stock market not too far from two weekhigh alltime, excuse me. Lauren the nasdaq hit 38th record high of the year yesterday. As far as european investors are concerned. Do you think they factored in the element of surprise could actually happen after we saw the u. S. Elections and the Trump Victory and the brexit vote . I think they have. You know, so far nothing seemed to have shake european investors and Global Investors as well. They look all around the world for the Top Performing investments that places that are the safest to put their money in and still when youre taking a lock at equities which are still reasonably placed, maybe not so much the hightech names, most equities are still reasonably priced, it seems to be pretty appropriate investment including government yields which are playing quite small in terms of rates. Equity is not overvalued, not too overloved and the political turmoil still remain the number one cheryl jonathan, here is the next shoe thats supposed to drop and thats brexit negotiations, all could have a negative effect on the british economy and could affect us here, we are going to have to start from scratch on the trade agreements when and if brexit actually happens with the wheels and motions, all that seems to make that uncertain and i dont unvestors dont like that specially american investors, jonathan. One of the big risks right now is political particularly en it cometo trade, tremendous amount of trade during free countries around the world, the uk and the euro zone, of course, a big part of is that as well as the u. S. , if theres a mass i have change in trade policy, you could see some of the shoes, if you will to drop. You already start seeing worrisome signs. Oil has fallen off the side of the cliff in the last couple of days. But so far the stock market remains strong even in the much troubled uk. Cheryl Market Participants watching so much news. Live picture of 10 downing street. We are going to take live comments from Prime Minister theresa may when they happen. Lauren because it was a disaster as a gamble to call snap elections, leads to political turmoil. Again, you are looking at pictures where youre wait if for Prime Minister to speak now any minute now. Donald trumps lawyer now set to launch lawsuits over the leaked memos that comey wrote and how investors react to go all of this, we will show you u. S. Stock market futures, theyre up 36 points looking at the dow, close yesterday, third highest close in history, so investors are saying, lets just move on, youre watching fbn am, first look at morning markets and breaking news. I asked my friend of mine to share the content of the memo, i didnt do it myself for a variety of reasons and i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel cheryl we continue to follow the breaking news out of london, we expect theresa may to speak at any moment, of course, in the british election, snap election, theresa may losing the majority power, still more seats in parliament but again losing power. What does that mean for brexit and what does this mean for the u. S. And, of course, as markets open in the u. S. We will have all of that coming out for you this morning as we wait for theresa may. Also more breaking news this morning, we have been following all of the developments out of washington, President Trumps personal lawyer, we are now learning the plans to file a complaint with the Justice Department and the Senate Judiciary committee after former fbi director james comey said he leaked memos about his conversations with the president to a friend. The president tweeted on friday after i got fired that i better hope that theres not tapes, i woke up in the middle of the night on monday night because it didnt dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation, there might be a tape, and my judgment is i i need today get that out in the public scare and i asked a friend to share content. I didnt do myself for a variety reasons and i asked a close friend of mine to do it. Lauren comey said the Trump Administration spread lies about him and the fbi in the aftermath of his firing. When asked if the president engaged in obstruction of justice, comey said, quote, i dont know, thats bob muellers job to sort that out. Cheryl more on this we want to bring former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney david bruno, david, good morning. Good morning. Cheryl so many things happening yesterday but first to the question whether comey broke the law basically, he leaked the memos to a new york law professor. Was that a breach of duties, was that a breach of the law . Yeah possibly but not because of the leak because when it mes to leaks it has to be the leaks of classified informion and that particular information was not classified. The bigger issue may be in 186. 46, government record to ones own use and the fact that he took it and later used it for his own other own purposes and he admittedly said to get a potential counsel, that was his own use and that would be the statute most applicable here. Lauren can the case for obstruction of justice can be layed to rest . Yes, i believe it can, for a number reasons. It has to be proven corruptly, if we are talking criminal by reasonable doubt and first and foremost this is a he said, he said, i said that a couple of weeks ago when i was on and donald trump through his lawyer has disputed the actual words. Number two, this conversation about flynn let it go, only happened once, on one occasion in the oval office and director comey said yesterday that he could be wrong about his impressions. So any prosecutor knows when you call a witness who said i could be wrong about what i heard or what i believe he meant problematic for a prosecution. Cheryl lets talk about those really all comes down to in some sense of the word, he said, he said. Comey said the president had cleared the room to have a privatcoersation wh him, is that a problem for President Trump . Again, we talked about this, was he naive or breaking the law, breaking the law the president himself in where do you stand on that . The fact of the clears the room is best argument that director comey and supporters have certainly. You cant look at that and thats not dispositive, there are other things that you to look at, the language used, i hope you can let this go and the impression that comey could be wrong about, very important factors as well. Lauren Many Americans hope the president and the administration can try to move onto more pressing issues for the u. S. Economy. David bruno, thank you. Thank you, lauren. Lauren coming up, of course, we are going to keep you with the latest of the uk. Plus an outrageous story coming from uber ceo travis in hot water again.

Lauren theres this. Uber ceo travis is in hot water this time because of an email he sent to employees about sex rules. You will not believe the story. Cheryl yeah, we are going to hold off on the comments on that one for sure. Good morning, everybody. It is 5 31 a. M. Here in new york. Its friday june 9th, good morning. Im cheryl casone. Lauren big week of news, good morning, im Lauren Simonetti and we are finishing the week with more news for you. We welcome to fbn am, first look at morning markets, breaking news and what to expect for the day ahead. Cheryl we have, weve got this for you, british Prime Minister theresa may suffering and this leaves a Hung Parliament. Youre looking at live pictures out of london as we await to hear from the Prime Minister herself but reports from britain say that she will not resign when she makes those comments today. Lauren fox news benjamin joining us from london with the latest in developing story. Hi, benjamin. Good morning, this is a staggering result overnight completely unexpected the conservatives were ahead over 20 points just a few weeks ago and they seemed to have thrown that all away. As you have been saying, they remain the biggest party. They won the most seats and they havent gotten the majority, technically a Hung Parliament. The conservatives are predicted to have 319 and labor 261 and now all the parties come together and talk to smaller parties about forming a coalition. Theresa may called called this election because she wanted a personal mandate but that backfired and already questions about her future and whether or not she can stay as Prime Minister, she has already announced that she wont resign. At this time more than anything else this country needs a period of stability and if as the incation have shown, if this is correct that the conservative party has won the most seats and probably the most votes, then it will be incumbent upon us to ensure that we have that period of stability and thats exactly what we will do. She may have won the most seats but the supporters of jeremy corby, in the farleft leader that were celebrating this morning and he will be looking to form his own leadership. If theres a message tonight, the Prime Minister called the election because she wanted a mandate, well the mandate shes got is lost conservative seats, lost votes, lost support and lost confidence. So still a very fluid situation at the moment. As you said, we just heard that theresa may is due at downing street to meet with the queen to form a government. She may have done a deal with the dup, small Northern Irish union party that won three seats, 319 and 10 will push her over majority mark but thats uncertain and means uncertain and a lot of negotiations going ahead. All in all a huge political gamble for theresa may and has backfired and we will see how the day plans out, a lot of meetings in back rooms, a lot of people eyeing her job up and its a fascinating day and political miscalculation. And shes an ally of our president donald trump, what does that mean going forward, benjamin, thank you. Cheryl editorial director for the center of monetary and financial alternatives. I want to pick up something that benjamin reported is that Northern Ireland group support, that it looks like shes going to get, that would indicate, maybe the markets are watching this right now that stability is going to actually stay in place, shes got more power than really the headlines are giving her credit for right now. Yeah, what im hearing is that some deal has been struck with the dup, that its not going to be a formal coalition but the dup will agree to support the conservative party on important issues so they can govern in some way. Its normally called confidence and supply agreement in british parliament. That basically means the other party will support you in a confidence vote so the government can be brought down and theyll support your budget as well so that you can actually keep funding programs and so on. So i think what we are going to have a conservative minority with a little bit of dup support. One to bear in mind that the other Northern Irish party, the Republican Party in Northern Ireland, they do not take up their seats in the house of commons. So actually you dont really need that 326 to have a working majority, you can t awayith a little less,o th the dup on board, i think thats going to give conservatives probably a working majority of about eight, but that is very slim and theyre relying on another party who may make various demands, the political situation in Northern Ireland is a little bit confusing as well so its going to be very interesting to see how that plays out. Lauren tom, i want to ask you and im not even sure theres an exact answer to this, what exactly happens, theresa may thought she had all of the support and she called the election three years early, what happened . And im asking in the backdrop of what ive been hearing people say is that the world is pushing left at the moment, is that what we saw yesterday in the uk . Its hard to say that at this point. I think thats one possible interpretation of the data. Theres one thing thats important to bear in mind first of all, the conservatives seems to have gotten 42 of the popular vote. Thats actually better than 2015, thats better than historically theyve polled for most of the time ive been following politics. Whats happened, though, there was a big turnout first of all, particularly a lot of young people turning out who tend to lean to the left and the anticonservative vote really solidified around the labour party. So where weve had scottish nationalists, more liberal Democrat Members and so on, that vote pretty much went to labour. So you have a 42 40 split, thats the most vote gotten to two major parties. Cheryl unfortunately we are out of time with you. All this can be good for ameran invto if we have the stability going forward. Tom, thank you very much. Thank you. Can he recall cheryl breaking news this morning, we continue to happen at here here at home. Here are some of the highlights from comeys testimony before the Senate Intelligence committee yesterday. I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting and so i thought important to document. And my judgment was, i need today get that out into the Public Square and so i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. I didnt do it myself for a variety of reasons but i asked him to because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. The administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader. Those were lies plain and simple. The circumstances were such that it was i was a bit stunned and didnt have the presence of mind and i dont know, i dont want to make you sound like im captain cranialous, i dont know whether i would have said to thi dont know whether i would have. I dont think its for me to say the conversation i had with the president was an effort to obstruct, i took it as a very disturbing thing, very concerning, but thats the conclusion the special counsel will work towards to understand the intention and whether thats an offense. Lauren for more on this former prosecutor david bruno joining us right now. Hi, david, again. Good morning. Lauren you heard a lot of the highlights from testimony, where do we go from here . What are the the potential problems . Special counsel will continue his investigation, mueller, so but what we could see publicly with the senate again is additional subpoenas because actually the most important discussion was in the oval office on february 14th and what director comey said he went back to fbi leadership and told these indivials about this conversation. The Deputy Director and chief counsel and many others, i would expect senator burr and warren to be issuing additional subpoenas to drag these people in to ask them questions about the conversation. Cheryl one of the biggest bombshells yesterday that former attorney general Loretta Lynch asked him to call the clinton investigation a matter and this is after the infamous tarmac meeting between bill clinton and Loretta Lynch. Where does this go, do you think, Loretta Lynch seems to be in some trouble here . Yeah, and it was actually inaccurate at the time, it wasnt a matter but an investigation. There was no motive but for political reasons to try to protect Hillary Clinton during the campaign. So is she in trouble, i dont know if shes in trouble violating a law but certainly from a Public Perception not good for attorney general lynch. Lauren trumps private attorney will file complaints about the comey leak of information but other than that, that the president feels vindicated, do you think hes vindicated . Well, vindicated in respect to russian interference, yes, like trump said in the letter terminating director comey, he was advised three times that he was not the subject or target of the russian interference investigation, but from obstruction of justice, i firmly believe it wasnt obstruction of justice but there could be arguments and certainly in Public Opinion a lot is being talked about. Uren we will leave it there. David bruno, thank you for your time. Have a great weekend. Cheryl thank you, david. Coming up we will have the latest for you as we are awaiting to hear from Prime Minister theresa may live out of 10 downing street. Youre watching fbn am. The mandate shes got has lost conservative seats, lost votes, lost support and lost confidence. I would have thought thats enough to go actually and make way for a government that will be truly representative of all of the people of this country.

Lauren welcome back, we are going to talk about the Market Reaction out of the news of the uk elections as Theresa Mays Conservative Party fail today win a majority of seats. Joining us now is jonathan. Great to be with you, lauren. Lauren we have potential political turmoil, european stocks are up. The british pound is down. What does this mean for investors right here in the u. S. . Well, we can only hope at its the type of political turmoil we saw during the clinton impeachmenhearings where there was a lot of news headlines, there was a lot of political intrigue in washington but the market kept turning higher and higher. It seems to be what we are seeing now not just in the uk but globally as well. Uk stocks up today. Not from their alltime high. Same thing here at home despite comey hearings and a lot of efforts in washington, the derail of president s initiative, the market remains in bull tone, citigroup, ebay, facebook, delta all at new alltime highs yesterday. Thats a bullish sign for todays market no matter whats happening in washington. Cheryl its interesting that you brought former director fbi director james comey because the markets held strong and almost seemed like investors were maybe expressing a sigh of relief that President Trump was not further kind of damaged by the comey testimony, is that your assessment . Yeah, sure. I agree. In the beginning of the day yesterday you saw the market on erratic move very sharply and as the testimony went on, surprising as a lot of it was the market and traders seemed to say, all right, theres not going to be any major bombshells, any major shows to drop. The fears start to drop. One thing that could be of some severe hard heartache and headache would be lack of fair. Weve had 52week high, alltime high for the nasdaq over and over again this year and some nasdaq stocks, im thinking amazon and facebooks as well are pretty stretch valuation. A lot of intrigue but not a lot of fear and ironically that could be one of the things that set it is mark shortterm. Lauren what if, anything, jonathan, create that is fear if its not the uk election or comey testimony, what is it . Well, its cliche to say uncertainty but i do think its political uncertainty. We mentioned trade and specifically in bre pit. Now we may not get a hard brexit but a softer brexit and same thing here at home when it comes to trade. President trump has been very hard on many european trading partners, germany specially so theres a lot of Unanswered Questions moving forward but thus far the market seems to once again shrug it off, middle east, comey, the markets keep continue to churn higher. I think one point where, you know, saying that your friend, the trend is your friend and that remains higher this morning. Lauren we could have a winning week for all three major averages. Cheryl hallelujah. We are following all of the developments after the snap election that went pretty wrong for theresa may. Plus we have the story for you, uber ceo travis deep in hot water again in the wake of a Sexual Harassment investigation. Now youre not going to believe his email.

We thought she might have spoken to the press and media but she needs to meet in Buckingham Palace for approval and she needs to be there in 40 minutes. So we will follow this for you and we will break in if she speaks. Cheryl we certainly will. In the meantime we are following big news at home uber Ceo Travis Kalanick in hot water after racy email he sent to employees leaked online. Lauren probably the most so solacious story. Tracee internal memo offering employees dos and donts after work trip obtain pped and released by tech site. Rules for the trip included, quote, do not have sex with another employee unless, a, you have asked that person for that privilege and they have responded with an imfattic, yes, i will have sex with you and, b, the two or more of you do not work in the same chain of command, yes that means travis will be celibate on this trip. Also do not, quote, throw large kegs o of Tall Buildings a urged employees to, quote, have a great time. The latest bombshell released after 20 managers and lowlevel employees were fired this week after claims of harassment, bullying and discrimination. Law enforcement conducting hr claims still investigating. Uber has been under pressure to address Corporate Culture after a former software earning wrote a blog post accusing managers of ignoring discrimination and sex ral harassment. Earlier this year video emerged where he was yelling at uber driver. Wow. Lauren it is a wow. Im just going to point out its been a tough week for him, his mom died last week in a boating accident but doesnt excuse this. Tracee no. Cheryl we have some other headlines we are following for you right now in the Business World as we watch everything to this friday. Ford is trying to reduce their Global Workforce through buyouts, the auto maker has started offering buyouts to employees in south america and asia, the aim to cut head count to 1400. Brought in a new ceo jim last month and ford shares down almost 15 in the past year.
