Play allegations. Lets go to the president , at white house a few moments ago, departing to camp david. Im going with the senators. Were going to camp david. We have a lot of things to work on, a lot of things to accomplish. The stock market is up very, very big today. We set new records much i think they continue to set. The tax cuts are really kicking in far beyond what anyone thought. Numerous companies today come out and announced they will make big payments to their employees, something that nobody really had in mind. So were very honored by it. But the market is good. Jobs reports will get good over next couple months. Were going to camp david with a lot of great republican senators and were making America Great again. Thankthank you, thank you very. Should steve bannon be fired . Cheryl President Trump moments ago boarding marine one. He will meet with key leadership, paul ryan, Mitch Mcconnell. Particularly what the agenda will be for the republicans in midterms of 2018. I want to bring in adam shapiro standing by with more. He talked more on the lawn just now there, adam, about the market, about taxes, getting things done but its a pretty hefty agenda theyre sitting on now, adam. Reporter there is a huge agenda. There is infrastructure, health care and immediate situation which is raising spending caps if theyre going to, in order to fund the government past the january 19th deadline. Start with the most immediate headlines to work backwards. The president is off to camp david. One of the headlines everyone is talking about, that book, fire and fury, president tweeting about the book he never authorized access to the books author. I authorized zero access to the phony author. Sarah sanders was on fox friends earlier today, and she said this. He makes it sound like he was sitting outside the oval office every sipping gell day which is not the case. This guy made up a lot of stories to try to sell books. I think more and more people are starting to see his facts simply dont add up. Reporter that is the palace intrigue, fire and fury released today. Then there are the policy issues. At camp david they will talk about the big issues and big names from the republicans will be there. Gary cohn will be there, senior Economic Advisor to the president. He was on with Stuart Varney this morning and talking about the big push for the infrastructure package. Here is what he says. There are two Core Principles in our infrastructure plan. Number one were advocates over a trillion dollars for infrastructure investment. Well get the approval process on infrastructure streamlined. Well take the process from 10 years to less than two years. Reporter cheryl, the economy front and center from the president. He was talking about the market at record levels. He mentioned Companies Giving their employees 1000dollar bonuses. Jetblue announcing they will do that. They enjoy Companies Like the booed cast Companies Like sinclair and comcast. They are giving their employees 1000dollar bonuses. The president in favor of that kind of thing. Back to you. Cheryl you could hear the reporter shouting to the president about steve bannon. That story probably wont go away over the weekend although they probably want it to. Adam shapiro live from the white house. Appreciate it very much. Joining me american majority ceo ned ryun, along with American University executive in residence capri cafaro. Good to have you both here. Absolutely. Hey, cheryl. Cheryl lets start with the book. This has been all over the airwaves. Michael wolff was on the today show, he stands by the his book he had notes and recordings and had full access to the president. First of all, cheryl, i think i would call into question at least some of the portions of the book that i have read, having been in the white house quite a bit last year, the portions about steve miller, the portions about trump not knowing boehner i can tell you flatout are false. At same time knock me over with a feather. Tempest in a teapot, there is palace intrigue in a white house . The fact that people have big egos and competing interests and infighting and backstabbing . This is nothing new, almost happens literally with every white house. I think in a week or two we will be talking about something else. We will have moved on. I dont think this overshadows anything trump has done. Its a little bit of a distraction, a week or two from now, trust me well be talking about something else. Cheryl capri, i hear you there, at same time the president had a pretty fiery response, calling his lawyer, issuing a the cease and desist orderly they are week, trying to make a legal case to stop the book, he wasnt successful, the book came out overnight . I think if President Trump wants the mead to focus on his agenda, there is a lot of success there particularly on the economic side in regards to the successes of the stock market, the passage of the tax bill and the job numbers that have just come out when he tweets and when he responds in that vociferious way i think it gives more fuel to the fire to cover the palace intrigue so to speak that fire and fury has brought to the forefront. I think it is going to get coverage. No question this book is going to get coverage about president of the United States. It is about the white house. And, it obviously has a lot of salacious quote, unquote, assertions in there, but, you know, it is, i think incumbent upon the white house to stay focused as much as i think there is desire to fight back, that fighting back i think is going to backfire. Cheryl well, certainly bannon is known to be a fighter. He also may be a fighter without a job as far as the breitbart situation goes. I want to move on, ned. Talk about what is happening, another strong day for wall street. We have tax reform in the bag. Obviously one of the things they will talk about, we know they will give presentations on this, Mitch Mcconnell, paul ryan, will give at camp david presentations to the president about the outlook for the 2018 midterms, ned. If you were there in that room, what would you tell President Trump about the outlook for the Republican Party . First of all id say lets be realistic what major policy items are going to pass in a midterm year. Most of these elected officials lose whatever political courage they might have going into what is typically a tough year for the party that holds white house. I would say trump be realistic. I wrote a piece on this, cheryl at the hill, where i think trump can get wins in 2018 with or without congress. I think he really needs to explore what he can do changing tax code in regards to nonprofit hospitals and cost of medical procedures. Deal with the carried interest loophole through the tax code as well. He can do a lot of different beneficial things that will be wins for his base at the same time, keep doing what he is doing on judges. Keep rolling back regulations. He rolled back or delayed 1500 regulations last year. Keep doing more of the sail in his power to do so. He will have more wins in 2018 but realistic, he might have problems Getting Congress to make big steps. Cheryl especially, capri, he will need democrats. We have the budget deadline on january 20th. He is pushing back when it comes to immigration, any spending bill has to include on dreamers and daca has to fund the wall. That is billions, capri. No question about it. Democrats do have to come to the table. As you mentioned, we have a pressing deadline coming up on 19th of january with the expiration of the continuing resolution for this budget to keep the doors of the government open. You know, we have eight million children on the line right now when it comes to Childrens Health insurance. That needs to be dealt with. Dreamers need to be dealt with by march. Infrastructure needs to be out there, and potential for bipartisan success for democrats and republicans alike. I will say this with regards to what ned saying that the president doing what he can, certainly he has, whatever power that is bestowed upon the executive branch to make whatever kind of changes he wants. That doesnt necessarily translate to the successes of congress in a midterm election. Congress is alltime low, when it comes to public approval. And i think that there is general frustration with democrats and republicans alike with their inability to compromise, their inability to govern and their desire to continue to pass the buck. Unless they getting something done it is not necessarily going to help them win. Cheryl ned, i have 10 seconds. The last thing i would say, if we have successive quarters at 4 gdp g growing and people seeing increase in paychecks, and democrats will have harder time in the 2018 elections than they are right now. Im not saying it will be a easy road for democrats in 2018. They need to come to the table too. It will not be the big sweep that people think. Thats right. Cheryl a lot to cover. Well be here all of it, all year at fox business. Ned, capri, their very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Cheryl were talking about the markets, that jobs report from the morning, dow, s p, nasdaq hitting alltime highs again third day in a row. December jobs data showed unemployment at the 17year low, 4. 1 . Wages up by the way, 2 1 2 since last year. There was wage growth there but is all the good news ignored by the Mainstream Media as they obsess over the book . We have paul shatz. Paul, of course the Michael Wolff book weve been talking about the last few moments. Every Mainstream Media, Network Publication is completely obsessed by every single detail . Are we forgetting about the great market, are we forgetting about jobs . Like most of these things since trump elected they have a very short shelf life. Media is hyperfocused on it. Today is friday, media focus on it today, over the weekend, they will be on to something else. What trump did, what trump didnt, is the table set properly at camp david. Whether you want to credit trump or paul ryan or Mitch Mcconnell or combination, animal spirits have been released. The economy after three years of slogging along with tax increases, the economy is finally kicking it up a notch. Clearly markets doing well under obama. They are doing a whole lot better under trump. Things are pretty darn good in the country right now. The media will do their best because only, 3 4 left until the midterms. Still not until november. Focus on what is in front of us. Jobs are good. Economy is good. Earnings are very good with companies. The markets doing fantastically well. Cheryl it is interesting, i mentioned a couple months ago, we saw a 2 1 2 increase in wage growth. You also saw, where we really saw weakness, why the report missed expectations was the retail sector. That is the amazon effect. Those are the retail jobs. That is where the weakness has been. But overall, you say, that even though the report wasnt gangbusters this morning, thats good for stocks, what do you mean . This is the goldilocks scenario right now. It is not too hot, it is not too cold. The fed has been very clear, they want to have a shallow glide path on Interest Rate hikes. This allows them to continue with that at most, one per quarter Interest Rate hike in 2018. So maybe they do three this year. You know, clearly, everyone i have read and i believe the same thing, two to four rate hikes this year. I lean toward the four than the three or the two. This is the perfect economy right now. Inflation is, it is not where they want it to be, but its fine. Wage growth is kind of saying. The genie is in the bottle. Were not seeing 3 1 2, 4 . People are going to ignore this, especially the media. Africanamerican unemployment is at the lowest level since records have been kept. So for all that huff and puff in the media trumps ignoring minorities, the proof is in the pudding. That is fact. You cant argue with that. Cheryl that is really interesting, paul. That is a great way it end it with you. Obviously again lets not forget, weve still got another new intraday record on the dow, potentially another record close tonight. Keeps on rolling, no matter what the naysayers keep saying. You know, i think you still have a shot at having this mini meltup in the market. I wouldnt root for it because i think it doesnt end well, but people are throwing in finally. They didnt throw in at 15 or 18 or 20,000. People are finally throwing into the market. In the short term it will all be really good. Cheryl paul, thank you very much. I appreciate the enthusiasm. Thanks for having me. Have a great weekend. Cheryl you too, you too. It will be nice watching that market roll up again. Fox news, we should add is learning that the department of justice has launched an investigation into allegations that Clinton Foundation used paytoplay politics while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Did the Foundation Promise special favors or access in exchange for donations . Were on it next. Retail. Under pressure like never before. And its connected technology thats moving companies forward fast. Ecommerce. Real time inventory. Virtual changing rooms. Thats why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent Network Speed across multiple locations. Every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. Leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. Comcast business outmaneuver. Cheryl another bombshell story developing right now. The Justice Department opening an investigation into whether the multibilliondollar Clinton Foundation engaged in paytoplay politics during Hillary Clintons tenure as secretary of state. And fox news has just learned that this probe has been in the works for months. Joining me now to discuss it criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor david bruno. David, good to have you on this. Hi, cheryl. Cheryl here we are once again. Paytoplay is one of the dirtiest parts of politics our viewers dont like. Sure. Cheryl she was secretary of state. They were taking millions of dollars of donations at same time from the saudis who dont even let women drive. They will this year. It always looked bad, but why reopen the investigation at this point so late in the game . There is a new administration, that would be one. This is not the first time the fbi was looking at this. Lets be specific here because when we talk about paytoplay, it is relevant as Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. And her last day in office was february 1st of 2013. And when we talk about crimes, investigations leading to criminal charges, we have to think about statute of limitations. And i would note that federal code says five years to bring charges like this and the fiveyear period would be february 1st of this year. So statute of limitations could be problematic, even if the feds uncover the paytoplay violations. Cheryl but let me ask you this, if youre going to do it, you mentioned the fiveyear period, fair enough, but at the same time they would have to have something over the last couple of months that they have been looking at something new. That they know they are on this deadline, which means maybe they will bring up something before the deadline expires. Do you think that is possible under the department of justice innerworkings of the department . I would hope so. Additional information, not just a change in administration. We have to think about, when we charge criminal charges it, has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. And it has been reported this was looked at before. When we talk about the causation of this, they would have to show that donations led to nonbidded contracts or actual decisions, and uptodate, there have not been charges. I would think there is no evidence to support them. Cheryl another piece, speaking of evidence though, again they found, they have found new emails, secure classified emails that her former aid huma abedin sent from her government account and from her Hillary Clinton account, sent them to her husband, Anthony Weiner to print out at home. Right. Cheryl they knew about this before. That came to evidence overnight. Lets not forget though. That those emails found on that laptop, was the reason that director comey had to reopen the investigation right before the election. So the feds, the government, did know about those specific emails, that were hearing now. And, dont forget. Cheryl maybe they have known for the last two months . One of the biggest issues brought into the media was uranium one. That was a scathing charge, that she accepted money, and as a result the uranium one deal was struck but we have since learned there is a committee of nine that took part in that approval, in that the secretary of state did not have veto power, and she wasnt the only one that put that through. That is why i have to think its a stretch that theyre going to be able to prove these specific charges. Cheryl could be, and im not the attorney you are but could there be special circumstances they could show there was actually malice on behalf of the investigators . Im talking about those that have now been outed those that hated President Trump, texting back and forth, a couple in a relationship . All of this looks bad on the department. Do you have people that are going to be fair and judge fairly the evidence when you have somebody that was running the Hillary Clinton investigation back in 2016 that admittedly did not like, was a big fan of hadry . There are just too many ties to go into all of night there could be, we always look back and reopen investigations but like i said at the top here you have to be within the statute of limitations. There is nothing that can change this . Absolutely not. When we talk about the server that could potentially be in the statute of limitations b
