Mistress were unwarranted. Buy said i prefer to stand up, roll this log over and see what crawls out. Federal prosecutors in new york are investigating whether there could be something to his charges and the national inqu e inquirers Parent Company may have violated a cooperation deal. First, deidra bolton where things stand now. A few news outlets reporting that federal prosecutors are reviewing the National Inquirers handling of this story, trying to determine whether or not the tabloid vi violated a prior immunity agreement. The agreement required the company to agree to commit no crimes whatsoever. If the company violated that, theyre in a heap of hope. I spoke with professor scott galloway. He said ami is bankrupt but they dont know it yet. Jeff bezos said the National Inquirer is trying to blackmail him. This friction between the founder and ceo of amazon started a month ago. The magazine published an expose with lauren sanchez. The National Inquirer said they saw explicit photos of bezos. Bezos hired a private investigator to see how the magazine got the photos. Bezos claims that it goes anxious about the investigation and that increased its threats against him. In a very bold strategic move on thursday, bezos published everything. He published this list of racy photos that they claim to have and tons of emails that look at if theyre from the lawyers representing the National Inquirer. He said in my position, if i cant stand up to this kind of extortion, how can many people . American media responded by saying American Media believes that they acted lawfully in the reporting of the story on mr. Bezos. Nevertheless, in light of the nature of the allegations published by mr. Bezos, the board has convened and determined it should promptly and thoroughly investigate the claims. So neil, as you know, theres lots of fodder here on legal ground. Well see what happens. In the meantime, most people say that think bezos can remain focused on leading his company. Back to you. Neil hes saying im going to investigate how they got this stuff. Exactly, a month ago. Neil and they were getting antsy about that. You know, why dont you cease and desist . We have more stuff. Thats right. Neil thats when he said the hell with it. Thats what he did. Thats his claim. When they started to threaten him by releasing more texts and more photos, he said okay. Im going to publish them myself. He apparently took issue with the fact that according to bezos, the National Inquirer wanted him to put out a statement saying he felt like the claims were not politically motivated. A claim he didnt want to make. Neil thats where the old extortion thing came in. It was getting heavyhanded here. Before i get to mercedes, cracker jack lawyer, i want to update you where bezos was coming from. He said of course, i dont want personal photos published and i dont want to commit blackmail and political attacks and corruption. What hes saying, mercedes, im not going to take this lying down. Exactly. Anyone that is facing this type of situation, and i have had clients with situations like this, they have to stand up and say how did you get these pictures, these texts, and now im facing threats about it . If youre going to do this, im going to get the legal authorities involved. Neil theyre saying unless you cease and desist here, weve got more. I guess he figures the story was out, the original story was out. He and his wife decided two days ahead of that to go ahead and announce that may were separating. So maybe he thought the damage was done. How much more damage could happen . That is also true. American media, theyre saying its a lawyertolawyer correspondence. Were not talking about Going Forward and publish this. We have a dispute between this and lets get this resolved and heres a way. So you think American Media neil and david pecker, the owner of the National Inquirer, are they in trouble here . One, you have this immunity agreement. So the prosecutors are notoriously very aggressive. Theyre going to dig deep into several things. One, how did you get this information . How did you get the pictures . How did you get the texts . Did you commit a crime neil if michael sanchezs name comes up, hes the brother of this woman involved in the relationship. Sure. Neil he denied any involvement but he does have ties to roger stone, carter page. What do we make of that . If you look to see where this information came from and its from legitimate sources, if its sanchezs brother that did it, how did he get the information . Maybe he committed the crime. So first is lets take a look at how you get the materials. The defense of the correspondence, this is a correspondence between lawyers. Were not neil its not just lawyers. This is where i need your help. One of the emails involves the National Inquirer editor, Dillon Howard who writing among other things, again on this idea of cease and desist and say that this investigation is not going anywhere, it would give no edit or pleasure to send this email, referring to what the inquirer is doing, i know common sense can prevail and quickly. In other words, you either cooperate with us or it does sound threatening. Thats what the federal prosecutors are going to dig down deep into the language of the communication. Aside from the information, the documentation and texts and pictures. Theyre going to look at all of those exchanges and decide, did you threaten thats what were dealing. Were talking about reputational harm here. He didnt say give us money. Neil the damage is done. The texts will come out. The pictures are out. He obviously weighed that and said the heck with it. Undoubtedly. Look, he has the wherewithal and the power and the influence to do it. Thats why he said, im going to stand on this principal and do it because others cant. Theyre not like i am. They dont have neil why would you extort the worlds richest man . Ridiculous. Neil a lot we dont know. This much we do, its becoming a heated political argument, an argument on the markets. Charlie gasparino is joining us. We have julie and ted williams. Let me get a sense how this adds up, ted. Obviously what bezos wanted to know, im responsible for these texts, the pictures. Theyre mine. Theyre lewd, i admit it. Theyre mine. How did they get out . How did they get . Someone elses hands and to the National Inquirers . What do you think hes trying to get to the bottom of there . Im going to start you with this. This takes kojak to figure this out. You know who he is. Look, the bottom line is, this was dumb and stupid and this i taught organized crime at american university. These guys are acting like juvenile organized crime members. Neil who is acting meaning ami. Its unbelievable. Also, you have some dumb lawyers that ami that do this kind of thing. So theyre in a heap of trouble, neil. Neil so jillian, one of the things that ami put out, a statement later, they are fervently believing that they acted lawfully. In between, i have a sense that theyre worried. Should they be . Yeah, absolutely. I mean, one thing that is worse than coming across with the reputation for having an affair is the reputation for extortion, clumsy one at that. Neil so obviously people, you know, can hack into anyone, even very Rich Companies and individuals. Weve seen that before. So is it your sense looking at that, dylan, that what theyre trying to find out is whether any of this is connected to a lot of friends that pecker has at the white house . Are they making that leap . Thats a questions thats been raised. I dont want to speculate on that. Neil thats what they were chasing today. Charlie, bezos has a lot on the line here, risking and filing this and saying im not going to drop back. But this is, you know a family concern. He runs amazon. Has a presence around the world. Could this hurt him financially . It has already. The stock was down more than the market today. Last night, the stock was down 2 . I have to check it again. It was more than the market. Yeah, it does have an impact. Neil a lot of that could be expensive stock and all but could be the slow down fears. Youre right. Its all in there. But listen, ted mentioned bad organized crime. Remind me of the novel, the gang that couldnt shoot strait. This is bad on amis part. Its not illegal as a journalist, if i get information that make you look bad, whatever, i can publish that. If im engaged in a criminal effort to obtain that information, thats a problem. Heres where it is more interesting is that letter. Was there real extortion here . I spoke with lawyers. They break down half and half. Half say it is extortion. Hes extorting ami go was to get paid back by bezos leaving them alone. Neil so on that point, i want to be clear. The company is saying the ami attorney is rejecting the assertion that this was not political or other wise. Flip it around. What if it turns out it was . As a lawyer, i can tell you, i think theres extortion and blackmail here, neil. When you look at those emails that went back and forth, and if you dont do certain things, bezos, we wont publish certain information. We have breaking news. A virginia official that Governor Northam has told his stop staff that he wont resign over this racist photo despite the pressure to step down. Might have something to do with the two democrats behind him in a heap of controversy themselves. The indications are the governor isnt going anywhere. More after this. Every day, visionaries are creating the future. So, every day, we put our latest technology and vast expertise to work. the United StatesPostal Service makes more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. You might or joints.

Have you ever been asked to approve any requests or actions to be taken by the special counsel . Mr. Chairman, i see that your five minutes is up so neil a little funny. That was one of the nicer stuff. The acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker grilled by the House Judiciary Committee on and on. Controlled by democrats. New sheriffs in town. Catherine herridge following it all. What happened . What is the end result of this . The end result, neil, that we had confirmation from the acting attorney general. He testified that hes not had contact with the president act the special counsel, robert mueller, probe. Hes not cut off money to the investigation. Hes not interfered in the investigation. Heres the key section from the six hours of testimony. I do not intend today to talk about my private conversations with the president of the United States. To answer your question, i have not talked to the president of the United States about the special counsels investigation. Another exchange is getting a lot of attention because in recent testimony we heard in the nominee to be the next attorney general, william barr and rod rosenstein. When they were asked about the president s characterization of the Mueller Probe as a witch hunt, they said they didnt share that opinion. This is what whitaker had to say on the issue today. Are youover seeing a witch hunt . As i mentioned previously, the special counsels investigation is ongoing you wontover see a witch hunt, would you . Youd stop a witch hunt, wouldnt you . It would be inappropriate for me to talk about an ongoing investigation. At the end, democrats said they had more questions but the reality is theyre up against a very tight timeline. Whitaker said he expected to be in the job another six days. Mid week next week, the confirmation of william barr is expected to be complete. Neil thanks, catherine herridge. Karl role, theater. We see that in the heat of political times. What did this prove . Not a darn thing. Except that the democrats are already out of control and were just in february and the start of the new congress. I couldnt believe how many times they heckled held and wouldnt let him answer. I knew whitaker. He handled himself well in the middle of a circus. He got off the funniest line when he said that the chairmans time was up. Even nadler, the chairman, had to have a little smile across his face. They were heckling him, damning him. You name it. The members proved themselves to be outrageous and rude and unconstructive in front of the american people. This wont do go over the long haul. If we see hearings like this, it will diminish the house. Neil whatever party in charge, they can call the hearings and the investigations and you know, real people are subpoenaed to appear. Republicans are doing it during the obama years and were seeing it play in reverse. This is a preview of coming attractions. What do you think . Yeah. The tone i thought was particularly nasty and unconstructive today. I cant how many times did he start to answer and one or two words into his answer he was cut off and somebody would, you know, sheik at him yes or no, yes or no. This was not an attempt to get information. This was a mock trial. It wasnt completely unconstructive. They this is oversight of the department of justice. They were acting like they were the senate Judiciary Committee trying to confirm whitaker in his job as acting attorney general. Neil and hes only the acting. He will be out soon assuming that barr is as he is voted on and approve in the full senate. So what was the point of that . Well, the point of this was to try to we had a lot of outrageous theories from the congressmen from maryland about nefarious thing that had gone on. The real purpose was did you talk to the president about the Mueller Investigation. He made it clear he never had a conversation with him about it. Then the question was, did you do anything to interfere with or to slow down or limit the Mueller Investigation which the answer was no. This could have been answered easily by one or two sets of questions from democrats. But they all had to get their licks in. I thought it was outrageous. Now, youre right. Both parties tend to do this stuff. This was way over the top and its right now at the beginning. This set the tone. The democrats will have to watch it if they think this is constructive for them. Theyre kidding them 70s. Neil well watch closely. Thank you. With all the breaking us in. And by the way, among the breaking news items virginias Governor Northam is not leaving. Hes apparently told his staff that. The fallout after this. [cell phone rings] where are you . Well the squirrels are back in the attic. Mom . Your dad wont call an exterminator.

Dont start humira if you have an infection. Woman help stop the clock on further irreversible joint damage. Talk to your rheumatologist. Right here. Right now. Humira. Neil all right. Not exactly hell no, i wont go but for now virginias Governor Ralph Northam making it clear hes not going anywhere any time soon, telling his top staff that besides the controversy over the racist photo, hes not going anywhere. Jack wilson is here with me. Good to have you with me. What do you make of this . He might have calculated given the controversies around the two next in line to replace him, democrats both, theyre in a heap of trouble and controversy, too. He figures im safe. I dont know if hes safe. He pretty much said last friday that he wasnt going to go anywhere. Thats when he admitted he was in the photographs. Next day when he reversed himself, he said he wasnt going anywhere. Subsequent to that, hes had pretty much every National Democrat running for president saying hes need to resign neil everyone has. But the fact that his Lieutenant Governor is still facing assault allegations and the back and forth with that, the attorney general, mark herring also has photo issues gave him breathing room . What do you think . He may be looking at it that way. Hes the only democrat that the democrats have called on to resign thus far. So he may be playing a little politics, too. I think the Democratic Party has switched into a political mode instead of a principle moat. Neil you know the state well. It sounds to me ive been reading a lot of the virginia press. Theyre not going light on attorney general herring on the issue. His problems go earlier. But its like a very careful approach. No one has been telling him you got to go. You know . Thats right. Again neil because then the next is a republican. A republican. Thats why theyve switched from a principled position to one where power and politics is overtaking principle. They recognize that if the governor goes, which they have called him to do, the Lieutenant Governor is next. As you mentioned, hes got a serious Sexual Assault allegation tending against him that needs to be investigated. So the attorney general herring is their safety net. So they cant get rid of him yet. If he goes, the Lieutenant Governor goes, then theyre in a world of hurt. So i can see where theyre going light on the attorney general just because theyre focusing on power and politics. Theyre throwing principle out the window. Neil a dumb question on my part. But how did the Gillespie Campaign miss this . Year books are not hidden. Obviously people knew about this. Its not as if this was some top secret document. How did the Research Team miss it . Well, im not sure, frankly again, the for first ran for the state senate. Didnt come out then. He ran for Lieutenant Governor and didnt continue out and then ran for governor. Could well be that the whole focus on high school and college year books didnt come to the forefront until the Justice Kavanaugh hearings. Neil yeah. This was post that. But im thinking when you Gather Research on someone and the higher up they go, the more Research People do. That they would go back and look at his high school, his college years. I think sometimes that can get overdone. We still may be saw in the kavanaugh case. But what the heck . Yeah, i dont know. I havent heard a good explanation for why it wasnt found other than perhaps that at the time nobody was really looking at old college year books to see if there was anything in there of political importance. How do you feel, whether republican or democrat, that it is . Its part of the fair game out there. I always tell my kids, be careful what youre writing and saying on social media. You dont know how far back people go. But now this is going back to Peoples High School, college years, whatever. And however controversial it is, its open season on all of this stuff. And i think that is the case. To a large extent, i think the democrats in virginia and democrats nationally have set that standard. They have sort of articulated a policy that if a republican does anything out of the norm, its considered racist and should be the person should be removed from office. So now that standard in place makes it difficult for the democrats to live up to the standards that they set. So year books, if youre in black face in a year book in the 1980s in virginia, thats abhorrent and you should hold elected office because of it. Neil well see what happens. Jack wilson, thank you. Thank you. Neil this is the new sort of regiment you have to go back to, go through year books to look at this, how do we move Going Forward . How exhausted does this get . Bobby jindal on that after this. I switched to Liberty Mutual because they let me customize my insurance, and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything. Like my bike and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

Neil maybe this is why virginias governor is not stepping down. Another woman coming forward accusing the Lieutenant Governor of Sexual Assault. Bobby jindal coming up. Neil what is it with virginia . The Washington Post is reporting that a second woman came forward accusing the virginia Lieutenant Governor of Sexual Assault. We told you a little bit before that. Maybe because of that report circulating around that the present governor, northam, decided his staff that hes not resigning. At least not now. The former republican governor of louisiana, bobby jindal with us. Good to have you. Thanks for having me. Neil theyre running out of backup choices for governor. The order and the events and series of things that were missed along the way. What do you make of this . First of all, i think the governor should have to resign three times. Not just once but three times. People are forgetting this. The horrific comments about late term abortions and neil thats not the issue here. Might be to you. But the issue here is something that was out in the open for a long time, but no one pursued it. Forget about Opposition Research and how that failed republicans. What do you make of this and what it could say for the future with candidates in the future after this . Look, this is a completely offensive picture. Not only do you have somebody in black face, you have somebody in a klansman robe in this picture. Some people saying this was common in the 80s. We didnt see these pictures or behaviors. The third thing is, hes also been so slippery in his explanations. First he came out and apologized that he was in the picture. The next they he said he wasnt. I dont know how anybody could trust him. You raised a good point. I think he should go. I think this picture was offensive. His explanations defy common sense. A lack of integrity there. Setting that aside. This is really important. The reality is, we also have to the democrats have created this got you climate. They did it for the kavanaugh hearings. They go back to Peoples High School years, teenage years. The reality, we have to allow people to make mistakes, show moral growth, be remorseful. Live good lives since then. We have to admit as a country if were looking for Perfect People to be our public leaders we wont find them. Maybe a couple on tv but not in political office. Neil the Lieutenant Governor with the assault and now the woman with allegations of her own, that is serious stuff. And therein lies the rub. Do you support a guy like that or listen to the women, hear them out. Its the same dilemma that a lot of people were facing in the kavanaugh situation. Im just wondering where this goes. Look, clearly you have a credible woman who has come forward. You mentioned another allegation. Clearly they need to be heard. The New York Times saying there were contemporary conversations from the first woman making the accusations that are consistent with what shes saying now, this looks credible. They need to be heard. They want to be heard and need to be heard. Then you have a attorney general two days before his own revelation was saying the governor should step aside, he should step down as well. He created his own bed. Neil whats going on . This is not every time you turn around a new scandal. At least theyre making louisiana look good by comparison. Neil i dont know. There was a republican president , the Senate Majority leader, acknowledged controversial pictures in a 1968 year book. Something is fairly widespread there. Im just wondering what you make of that. Well, look, i think certainly we need to condemn any kind of racism and obviously i dont condone it. These pictures were this is nonsense. Theyre racist pictures, horrific. No excusing these pictures. The governors reaction has been bizarre to say the least since this has unfolded. The Lieutenant Governor, his allegations are in some ways more serious. Now you have one woman, you mentioned a second woman coming forward with seemingly credible allegations. They need to be heard. The legislature needs to do that. An attorney general that said the governor should go. Now he has his own problems. So these are not minor issues. I still think christians and others that believe in moral growth setting these three men aside, maybe a fourth, a republican. Shouldnt be partisan. Doesnt matter if its a republican or democrat. I hope we get away from this got you climate where we say were going to dig into kids year book pictures and every kind of fall ability. I have three young kids. I want them to live their lives and make the normal mistakes that kids make. Thats not to excuse these racist pictures. Neil heart break comes. Thanks, governor. I appreciate it. A quick look at the corner of wall and broad. Down 63 points today. We were up on the week. Seven straight weeks weve done that. That is the best performance for the dow as far as the consistence stretch of gains. In the better part of two years. More after this. This is nice. Yeah. Yeah, this is nice.

Tecky, can you offer low costs and awardwinning full service with a satisfaction guarantee, like schwab . Sorry. Tecky cant do that. Schwabbb calling schwab. We dont have a satisfaction guarantee, but we do have tecky im tecky. I ca. Are you getting low costs and awardwinning full service . If not, talk to schwab. Neil all right. A bumpy ride today. For the week, we were up. Up on all the pay youre indices. The dow gets a special start. Seven weeks in a row. Were off to a blistering pace for the major markets this year. Our markets. Foreign markets are not so lucky. Swiss american chairman craig smith on that. Theres ongoing worried about trade, will we see another shut town. All of that stuff. Markets climb a wall a worry. Youre still worried. I am, neil. I must tell you, im not as worried as before. Look at the market reactions to the lack of the meeting with President Trump and xi. I think right now, neil, we are going to get a deal. But lets keep in mind from a 35,000 foot view what were trying to accomplish. I think its very important that we focus on this. In 1980, china had a 305 billion economy. Today its a 12 billion. How did they get there . Cheating, stealing, using unfair trade. Manipulating currency. We are saying make structural reforms. Abandon that and talked this new approach. That will take time, neil. Thats not going to happen overnight. Neil i dont know if its so i get a sense especially given the fact that the president will not meet before these so called tariffs kick in in the beginning of march, then what . If they dont meet, i have to believe speculation on any part but i have to belief that lighthizer and navarro, mnuchin, all of these guys are working behind the scenes. Theyre going back to beijing monday. The talks are still happening. Because the president and xi have not sat down, that doesnt mean these talks are not being productive. Look, i watched larry kudlow on the program. While he wasnt real optimistic, he wasnt pessimistic either. Im confident that we will get a deal. Getting back to the market. Look at the market reaction. It was up on the week. This didnt cause them to sell off hard. I think people are overplaying the issue of china as relates to the trade talks. Neil and earnings are solid. You think that continues . I do, neil. I think the underlying fundamentals in the American Economy are strong. My only concern, weve talked about this before, is the slow down that we see happening in europe, the slow down over in asia. I mean, when you have china slowing at the rate theyre slowing, can they really afford to stop their exports to america . I think we have the upper hand in these negotiations. The reason why we havent had a deal is because of the enforcements mechanism. China wants to have Enforcement Mechanisms that they can get away with, to work around. Thats not going to happen with this president , neil. Neil we shall see. Thanks, craig. The one deal were more optimistic about is not so much about china and the u. S. But democrats and republicans in the u. S. On this border stuff after this. This is loma linda, a place with one of the highest life expectancies in the country. You see so many people Walking Around here in their hundreds. So how do you stay financially well for all those extra years . Well, you have to start planning as early as possible. We all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of retirement. I dont have a whole lot saved up, but im working on it now. I will do whatever i need to do. Plan your Financial Life with prudential. Bring your challenges. To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else. Means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop. Does this sound dismal . It isnt. Its the most wonderful life on earth. Neil all right. They really want to get this all done by next friday. Thats the make or break time. But to get to next friday, to have a border deal,ou over the weekend and file the text money. What ive before told is theyre optimistic. One said theyre more pessimistic. The other thing we know, President Trump wont get anywhere near the 5. 7 billion he requested. Ive been told its close to 1. 6 billion. At the end of the day, democrats went from 0 to 1. 6 billion. Were hearing there is restrictions on how the 1. 6 billion could be used and interior enforcement limitations. Those are the key things in the next couple days, neil. Because they have to get this text posted on monday so the house of representatives can at here to its socalled 72hour rule, post the text 72 hours before they vote on it and they have to move it through the senate. Thats why this turning radius is so tight by a week from today. And the president could be a wild card. Some were skeptical if the president would do a double switch. Mitch mcconnell felt burned after putting that interim bill on the table in december. He didnt sign it. Then we had a government shut down for 35 days. Neil say it aint so. Thanks, chad. Chad pergram in washington. We dont know how this will fall out. Were optimistic that they can make a deal. Well see. More after this.
