With blake burman at the white house, gerri willis on the floor of the new york stock exchange, Edward Lawrence is in d. C. And grady trimbull is in chicago with all of the news coming out of 1,600 pennsylvania, blake we start with you. Reporter hi there, connell the president s top advisors continue to insist the attack potentially directed by Qassem Soleimani against the u. S. Was imminent, as the secretary of state, mike pompeo, at one point saying that the president s advisors would have been negligent, had he not told the president he should have struck soleimani like he did. As far as the president goes he gave an interview today to foxs Laura Ingraham and said u. S. Embassies were at risk. Dont the American People have a right to know what specifically was targeted without revealing methods and sources . Well i dont think so but we will tell you probably it was the embassy in baghdad. So the large scale attacks planned for other embassies and if those were planned, why cant we reveal that to the American People . Wouldnt that help your case . I can reveal i believe it would have been four embassies. Reporter the treasury secretary and the secretary of state today also announced additional sanctions against iran, some of the direct result of tuesday nights retaliatory strikes and they say these sanctions will choke off some funding iran desires to finance terrorism. Theyve got real challenges in figuring out how to make difficult decisions. Do you under write hezbollah, pick hamas, under write the she a malitias in iraq or do you allow your people to have the opportunity to live the life they want and grow your economy . All the focus this week here in washington or at least much of it and rightly so was on iran but next week, it will refocus most likely pack back to impeachment as the speaker of the house nancy pelosi wrote to her democratic colleagues suggesting that the articles of impeachment could be sent to the accept at next week potentially on tuesday at some point, and that of course will then trigger the senate trial after that. Back to you. Connell working a little china next week as well, blake burman on the north lawn for us, a major time for the dow today gerri willis is on the floor at the new york stock exchange, that was, it seems like a while ago, we hit that 29 k. Yeah, and then we never went down and we never came back i have to show you im not going to put the hat on because we did not close there as you well know but understand moving to the 29,000 from where we closed thursday night, a fraction of a percent, right . So these are not big news that were talking about, and the traders down here, they all say that it doesnt really matter until we close above that level and now you may be wondering why are we down 133 at the close not a lot of volume today, so movements are easy to make so 37 days for 29,000 and apple leading the way other big player s, Goldman Sachs, united health, and to look at the markets for the week here, the dow, s p and nasdac, more than 1 in the first full week of 2020, thats important. People Pay Attention to that kind of number. The dow is up four of the last five week, s p 500 six of the last seven weeks nasdac up five weeks in a row so this kind of performance especially at the beginning of the year seems to p ortend good things but i have to tell you with the traders, these 29,000 they dont pay as much attention as you might think they do, back to you. Connell interesting gerri, thanks. Melissa boeings circus is run by clowned supervised by monkeys these are internal messages at the company, slamming the 737 max. Fox business grady trimbull is live in chicago with the details reporter melissa boeing released these messages to congress and the faa and they seem to back up what critics of the company have been saying for months that boeing mislead regulators when getting the 737 max plane to market here is one of those messages that you just referenced from a boeing pilot where they say this airplane is designed by clowns who are in turn supervised by monkeys. Another one, from a boeing employee saying that i still havent been forgiven by god for the covering up i did last year. And then another employee said in a message, they wouldnt put their family on a 737 max plane, all of these messages particularly ominous because they were sent before those two crashes in 2018 and 2019. Boeing a pop orgiesed to the faa , to congress as well as its customers and passengers and it also calls the messages unacceptable and says that they dont reflect the company who is and needs to be and the timing of this is interesting because boeings new ceo starts on monday and he will be taking over a stock thats been struggling. Boeing shares closing down almost 2 and the company promised more transparency under the new ceo and this seems to be a step in that direction, and weve also learned about a different company, spirit aero systems this is a big supplier to boeing theyre laying off 2,800 employees, melissa, at a wichita, kansas facility and they expect more to come because as you know, the 737 max plane is not being produced right now, and that is a big source of their business, so they dont know what to do without that plane being made. Melissa . Melissa wow, grady, thank you. Connell more in our Friday Market with doug flynn, joins us along with paul adversano, and its always good to see both of you gentlemen. Lets talk a little bit about the geopolitics, we see the market pulled back just a little bit today, as gerri willis rightly points out cause and effect is always difficult but we have the new iran sanctions announced and what i heard thrown around after that, was that indirectly, some Chinese Companies might be impacted just ahead of a china deal being announced next week because theyve continued maybe skirting previous sanctions to work with iran so what would you say about the relationship, paul, between those two countries and what it all means for investors . Well crossing over 29,000 today was certainly exciting. I think in the shortterm we could possibly hit 30,000. I think the two things i would point out that people need to be aware of was number one we should be taking a long term view when it comes to looking at the markets and more importantly we know the markets dont like uncertainty and going into this year theres certainly a lot of uncertainty. I think most recently iran, this phase i china deal, i think the details still need to be worked out and theres a long way to go other than despite the fact that its being signed next week, but theres a lot of as we get toward the phase ii, and i think theres a lot of other geo Political Risk not just iran and china north korea is still out there, russia is still out there so theres a lot of things from an uncertainty standpoint geopolitically that could impact the mark econnell all of that said doug 37 trading days ago i believe we were at 28,000 so we didnt stay above 29 today, sometimes these numbers especially at the dow werent that important but what would you say about the momentum in the market . Yeah its interesting. If you look at from december were up about 5 and actually from three months ago, the markets have about 13 with financials and technology up over 15 , and the last three months so when you have a move like that although 29,000 is a nice somewhat round number, we all really want 30,000, which were only 3. 5 away from so i think when you have a move like that over a short period of time thats a big move sometimes more than your annual gain in just a couple of months so it doesnt surprise me a little bit of this coming off a little bit here, is very normal. I would actually like to see how much bigger dip in the shortterm so we could put cash to work, so thats where the opportunity is. Melissa ten straight years of gains and the u. S. Economy adding 145,000 jobs in december falling short of expectations, however the jobless rate is still at 3. 5 , that is a 50 year low. Fox business Edward Lawrence is live in washington, with all the glorious details. Edward . Reporter yeah, melissa first the jobs report announced this decade, men or women passed men holding jobs for the first time, since 2010 and nonfarm payrolls and now 50. 04 of the labor force, as you said in december, 145,000 jobs added the Unemployment Rate staying at 3. 5 tying that record low, white house Economic Advisor larry kudlow says look at the wage increases for men and women because he says this report still shows solid fundamentals in the economy. The bottom half of the population has seen an increase of 47 in their household net worth. The top 1 has seen an increase of 13 , because thats the sign of an economy thats been restructured and reopened. Reporter average hourly wages increased 2. 9 in 2019 the last time that percentage fell under 3 was july of 2018. This indicates muted inflation pressures, prices are not drastically rising, going into the first meeting for the Federal Reserve this decade, inflation will be in focus. In my exclusive interview with minneapolis Federal Reserve president he says inflation is his trigger, and thats important because hes a Voting Member that sets rates this year right now, im comfortable with pausing Interest Rates to see how the economy evolves, if Inflation Expectations continue to slip or the economy continues to weaken, i probably will advocate for further rate cuts, but im comfortable where we are right now. Reporter weve heard clear uncertainty like ratifying usmca and signing a good phase i trade deal with china could boost the weaker Business Investment especially in manufacturing and construction. Construction, for example, adding 20,000 jobs in december, but in all of 2019 adding 151,000 jobs, that double though in 2018, so melissa there is room for growth in this economy as we go through 2020. Back to you. Melissa edward, thank you. All right, paul and dug are back paul, what do you think about this. It looks like theres still room to run here, i thought a study from Goldman Sachs recently that was crunching the numbers saying that salaries at the bottom are growing twice as fast as salaries at the top, so theres good news even inside all of these numbers, in terms of the wage gap closing between rich and poor. Right. I think most of the commentary you hear this is more of a good message as far as the job report goes, but most of the commentary you hear is looking back historically over the last year and obviously by any measure the economy and the jobs report has been very strong. I think, however im going to take a little bit of a barisha stance looking forward. What concerns me most is that were at the end of the cycle, were at a historically low Interest Rate environment and Deutsche Bank has come out and reported that half of the u. S. Population spends more than their income, and that is what scares me a little bit, because historically, this market has been driven by Consumer Spending how long can that continue . So in the shortterm i think theres more room to run and over the medium to longer term im more barisha. Melissa doug ill take the other side of that bet because i think we have seen the economy and the market held back by the fact that we are trying to do all of these trade deals, and so there is an artificial boost coming, when the president mays the deal, i mean, whether its getting the usmca into effect, or it is making some kind of a deal with china, or making a deal in the uk on the heels of whatever happens with brexit. I mean it just seems like thats going to be a boost, where normally id say paul would be right we would be at the end of the cycle but we have this other extraneous thing thats going to happen and breathe new life. What do you think . I kind of agree. I think the Unemployment Rate is going to tick down toward the end of the year but theres a couple things we look at deeper than the monthtomonth changes on these numbers and one of them is discouraged workers, and part timers looking for full time. That is at its highest level in 25 years, and also, the Labor Force Participation rate of the prime workers, age 2554, is the highest in ten years, so i think there are better numbers behind just the headline number here that bode well when these other things come on line and you should see some of that turn into a lower Unemployment Rate even though monthtomonth it may or may not hit the number were all forecasting. Melissa u6 looked really good in their, paul and doug thanks to both of you. Appreciate it. Connell more on the tensions were seeing on the world stage as the u. S. Sophomore sanctions on iran today trying to stop the regime from engaging in terrorist activities, critics saw its somehow putting our National Security at risk. Melissa plus targeting amazon shopper, the new warning from state police where its putting Bank Accounts at risk. Connell cashing in on hard work how one fast food chain is boosting pay, for some of its top employees. Yes im stuck in the middle with you, no one likes to feel stuck, boxed in, or held back.

I tell truecar my zip and what car im into, and it shows me the truecar curve. This shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car. Looks like these folks paid a little more than everyone else. And this guy got the deal of a lifetime. This is how car buying was always meant to be. This is truecar. narrator before you buy a car, see what others paid for it with truecar. Connell its an embarrassment of riches. New research is out from the American Action forum and its signed the wealth tax proposed by both Elizabeth Warren and bernie sanders, and in warrens cause could cost workers 1. 2 trillion in lost earnings over the course of 10 years. In the case of sanders, 1. 6 trillion lost earnings, co author of that report from the American Action forum, the president of that group, he joins us right now. Doug always good to see you. Simply tell us, without, you know, dont kill us in economic speak, but tell us how you came up with these figures. We talked a lot about the wealth tax and you put numbers to it. How did you come up with it . So we didnt do the number, we retained three experts who are at the e y Modeling Group who have the kind of technolog ies that the congressional budget office, the taxation, the sort of experts who look at legislation and got the same kind of formal models and we asked them to look at the wets tax, and the motivations pretty simple, these are advertised as low taxes on a couple of people, but if you think about why they picked those couple of people, its because they control a large amount of the economies invest able wealth and if you actually look at those taxes, their tax rates have 6 and 8 but if you have a 6 rate of return and a 6 tax rate thats 100 tax rate on your annual return, so if you got the combination of a lot of capital being taxed at extremely high rates, you start to surveillances Something Like that and thats what we ised them to do. Connell it was interesting i was thinking about that in the context of whats happened off the last decade that since 08 the economies came roaring back and particularly the stock market has and whose benefited right . More so than anyone else, people who have investments, the socalled investor class and thats led to, we talk about in politics, a lot of anger and people, and a lot of that by the way justified. People say well i didnt make as much as these people, they were bailed out and all of the rest of it, but when you start to look at it from this perspective , this doesnt just hit the wealthy. It may sound like it does, but it doesnt necessarily work that way. Right. So i think the anger part of this comes from workers saying that it was my effort that allowed them to get really well off, but the reverse of that is were all interconnected and if you try to make those people who have the capital worse off it spills over to the rest of the economy. The only question is how big is that spillover and what we found out is it could be quite substantial. 1. 6 trillion in lost earnings is a big hit to the working class. Connell yes. If you think of it in terms of who ultimately bears this tax of every dollar collected in wets tax ultimately 0. 63 comes out of workers wages connell because when you think of it, if its a debate, Elizabeth Warren or sanders will be asked, no, no, its only a sliver a small group of people is what they will say and you say no, no, no. No. The small group of people were selected because they have a big influence on the economy. The attacks are part of the economy. You get a bigger impact. Connell always interesting doug , thank you, sir have a good weekend. Thank you, connell. Melissa robots taking over the tax. How one casino is replacing bartenders with robots.

Todays sanctions are part of our commitment to stop the Iranian Regimes global terrorist activities. We will continue to apply economic sanctions until iran stops its terrorist activities and commit that it will never have nuclear weapons. Melissa the white house slam ming iran with new sanctions here now to discuss is chris hammer retired navy commander. Chris before we get into that i was reading your note, and i mean, you are a straight guy. Youre not political, you dont take sides so when i read your note and you said that Qassem Soleimani was the most dangerous terrorist of the modern era, more dangerous than carlos, Osama Bin Laden, you go on and on, tell me about that. You look back at the modern history of terrorism since 1945 and there are three guys that stood out in the 1970s, carlos the jackyl, 1980s, gave comfort training to the one of the leftist european terrorists and then starting in 1990 you had Osama Bin Laden and all three of those guys suffered in terms of their effectiveness because they were dedicated to this cult of personality and they made it about themselves much more so than they made it about what in their terror itch was guided towards. Qassem soleimani was so brilliantly effective because he was a lowkey personality and very personally modest and hum bet yet he was strategically brilliant. Hes been a terrorist for 41 years the vast majority of americans dont know his name because he operated in the shadows and now what he did was not in the shadows. I mean, he was the primary strategist for lebanese hezbollah, and the rebels in yemen, for the she a malitia in iraq that killed hundreds of american soldiers so hes been very very effective but also very below the radar so to speak in terms of the Public Awareness and in any case, he deserves to be dead. Im glad hes dead, and we can take it from here. Melissa theyve gone to great pains to say that other administrations, other president s tons of people could have ic tariff en him out and chose not to do it. Given what you just said why would they have not done it sooner . Theres a little bit of a difference between a guy like Osama Bin Laden whose the designated leader of a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Qassem Soleimani who held a position within a terrorist state like iran, so iran has been designated as a terrorist state, a statesponsored terrorist since 1984 and every iteration of our government, republican president Democrat Republican Congress doesnt matter what you call it, iran has always been considered a terrorist state and with good reason, Qassem Soleimani has been at the center of that state s terrorist activities and strategy. The reason people didnt take him out before the prior president s didnt do that is they were concerned that destabilizing the regime would have follow on effects, but ultimately iran has been on this for four decades and theyve known what the consequences eventually would be, and i just cant find any sim path it for the defenders or the critics of this policy. Melissa what do you think happens now because you said others were worried abouts destabilizing effect so what do you think happens now with iran . The iranian leadership has to make a decision, are they going to escalator deescalate, at this point i think the rare leadership is looking for an out and looking for an out because they dont have the support across the broader mideast. In fact they dont have the support in their own country to escalate. The iranian economy is in terrible shape and the iranian people no longer support the regime. There is a point 25, 30, 40 years ago when a solid majority of the iranian people at least tolerated the regime. At this point its not the case so they dont have domestic support, they dont have International Support and still have their International Terror network but they are growing increasingly isolated so they are looking to deescalate and survive. Melissa you think that by squeezing them with sanctions there could be a deal of some type . No i dont think theres ever a deal between this administration and the Iranian Regime. I am a fierce critic of the jcpo a, the deal from the obama administration. I think they were willfully naive as to what the impact of that would be. What they claim the impact was, a sausages of the Iranian Nuclear program and i dont think thats realistic at all. I think what happened was they took the iranians took the money from the nike deal, they temporarily suspended their Nuclear Program, and they used that money to finance terrorism throughout the world and to improve their Nuclear Program so i think theres just no possibility that the Iranian Regime and this administration will come to a deal and i really dont think we should at this point i think we should continue to tell the truth about the Iranian Regime, largest state sponsored terrorism in the world with a Nuclear Program and we should continue to increase the sanctions. The only question is are we going to convince the europeans and the pacific rim to come with us and i hope thats the case. Melissa come back soon. I could talk to you all day. Thank you. Thank you. Connell always good so the 202t where we heard the number 1 trillion today. Its how much Pete Buttigieg would like to spend on infrastructure and hes put a plan out about that that Hillary Vaughn has been looking over joining us from washington with the latest. Reporter hi connell thats actually only half of what President Trump has pledged to spend on infrastructure if he can work out a deal with democrats in congress to get something passed trump has promised a 2 trillion spending package, double what mayor Pete Buttigieg said he will spend as president but the mayor is taking a dig at trump for not getting anything on infrastructure done. Infrastructure is another example where local communities including los angeles have had to act in the absence of the federal support that we really should see more of. Pete buttigiegs plan would spend the cash to rebuild half of americas roads and bridges, invest in sustainable green energy, like Public Transportation including electric buses and also rollout electric charging stations, nationwide, and it would spend 80 billion to expand Internet Access in rural areas and also invest 10 billion to train more workers, to get all this done. It also promises to cut your water bill in half, saying American Families would save on average about 600 bucks a year, and Pete Buttigiegs trillion dollars price tag does come with a tax bump to pay for it and by reforming Capital Gains taxes, repealing President Trumps tax cuts, raising estate taxes and also eliminating some estate tax loopholes, but this infrastructure plan comes as the 2020 field is getting smaller, headed into the iowa caucuses, mary ann williamson, who moved to des moines this summer, is ending her campaign for president just weeks before the caucuses kickoff. Connell . Connell all right that does it for her. The infrastructure supposedly the one bipartisan issue but as you say, hillary we havent been able to get it done, thank you. Hillary vaughn. Melissa do you know whats the bipartisan issue is spending all of our money. Spending my money and your money thats one thing they all can do it drives me absolutely bananas.

Reporter melissa as the fbi continues its investigation into any of Jeffrey Epsteins alleged coconspirators last night on abc, epidemic seen accuser maria farmer, said his former girlfriend threatened her life after she and epstein both sexual assaulted her one night. I remember having some bruises. They didnt get my clothes off. They tried. I was in an absolute panic to the point where i was able to get myself up and get out of that room and gillian came after me but i literally took these big pieces of furniture and pushed them against the doors. Her whereabouts is unknown and a friend tells fox news recent reports that maxwell is hiding in safe houses being guarded by former u. S. Navy seals are gross ly exaggerated and untrue. Meantime, m.

The investigation also found the president of the university was not aware and had no role of a professor who accepted donations is now on administrative leave. This as yesterday, federal prosecutors revealed that Surveillance Video from outside Jeffrey Epsteins jail cell on the night of his first alleged Suicide Attempt in july has been deleted because of clerical and technical errors by the Metropolitan Correctional Center and the letter readsthe mcc inadvertently preserved video from the wrong ti er, and it no longer exists.

Connell we have a help wanted sign for you the Fast Food Restaurant taco bell is about to offer up six figure salaries for managers at its restaurants and jeff flock is live in chicago. Interesting Story Development when were talking about the tight labor market and everything else, right . I know the president said salaries are up not so much but in certain locations, and it just occurred to me you mentioned the duke and dutchess of sussex. If they each moved to chicago and each became a general manager of a taco bell like this one on wabash avenue theyre pretty close to Financial Independence because taco bell is paying its managers at least in select locations 100,000 a year, compared to between 50 and 80,000 they normally pay, and why are they doing this . Well they are doing pretty well in terms of samestore sales but they also gave us a statement which said we want our restaurants to grow and looking out for our managers is one of the main ways to accomplish that now as you know, connell, the fast Food Industry is not exactly noted for high incomes, and in fact if you look at the average salary of a foodservice industry manager its in the 56,000 or 46,000 range, and burger king, for example, one of the few places that we could get some data on, average salary for a manager about 45,000. The only outlier on this, now, except for taco bell, is our friends at Innout Burger in california. Theyve got a great reputation and they pay their managers on average, they claim, 160,000 but of course everything costs more in california. And so there you go. An idea. Its always good to have a back up plan, when youre in television or whatever youre doing a backup career plan so its a good plan. Connell youve always taught me that among other things jeff flock on the streets of chicago, thank you, sir. Reporter dont listen to anything.

What do you think about this, does it reflect how much people are going to taco bell, and innout . Does it tell you about the tight labor market . Is it smart business, good pr . Your thoughts. First of all if its people going to taco bell im completely at fault because i love it. I am there all the time but this is what happens when you do have a tight labor market and obviously, i think that its a fantastic thing when you let the markets do what they are supposed to do, businesses know they want to compete for the best talent they have a to be of turnover, and they know rewarding their managers creating that path for the lower income workers to see if you stick it out you do a good job here is the opportunity. I mean, this is the American Dream and its not just taco bell, as you mentioned innout, chickfila, there are a lot of businesses, and other ones that are going to have to compete now they are watching taco bell do this. Melissa seriously show up, do your job, be responsible work your way up and your next drink might come with a twist, wynn resort in las vegas planning to install robot bartenders for patrons on the gaming floor as they make drinks at the bush of a button and you know what this is all about when the waitresses are going back and forth getting free drinks from the people betting at the table and you want those people as drunk as possible so that they spend and risk as much money as they possibly can, they are going to have bartenders behind the scenes, robot bar end ers, just churning out the drinks. Your thoughts . This is the opposite side of the coin. This goes to show you that the true minimum wage is zero, and you can certainly ask for whatever you want, but if you dont have a level of skills that eventually robot will come and take your job and guess what melissa they show up on time, they dont unionize yet, and you probably dont talk back to their employers, so this is the risk that when youre on the low end of the spectrum and you get the fight for all these things that sound like a great idea emotionally, there is these, there are these unintended consequences on the other side that at some point it just doesnt make economic sense any more and obviously we would rather have more people getting into the labor force having the opportunity to work their way up like we talked about with taco bell than losing their jobs to a casino rosenstein bit. Melissa absolutely, finally hollywood producing more than 500 scripted shows last year compared to just 300 in 2017 as competition for viewers heats up carol lets write a script. Lets write it and sell it. Ive got a ton of ideas well work on this offline. This is such a great thing for everybody. This is great for consumers and you get all kinds of choice and opportunity, this is great for people who work in writing and great for producers directors actors. Think about it this is Market Competition and when you open up the channels and you dont limit it to just a couple of channels on cable, and all these people can compete, you get moneys thrown in a bunch of Different Directions and at the end of the day i think were in that era now that you can access it anywhere the content is the supreme king, not just king any more, but the supreme king and im pretty excited. Im a very avid consumer of streaming shows as well. Melissa well get taco bell and a drink and watch television, carol roth thank you, good stuff connell you guys can write about megxit. This drama continues and somehow oprah got involved in the whole thing and a friend of harry and megan denies that oprah advised the duke and dutchess of sussex and their decision to step back from the royal family and then there st. Wax museum issue over in london. Apparently from what we understand they moved the harry and megan wax figures away from the other royal family members. So that was quick. Melissa [gasping] cop so connell , so who better to ask . Melissa our own royalty. David 99 of the time its okay to say who better. This is one of those, ive had royal overload. By the way were talking about netflix, well all we all love the crown, i love it but that was when the queen and the royal family had substantial influence , on the affairs of state and not just their own affairs. I mean you think of Prince Andrew for gods sakes and whatever he was doing with jeff and god knows who else. I just had it im so glad that im an american that we dont have to deal with that. Yes, we have the kennedys and you have your royal family so to speak, but the whole idea of somebody born into a royal position where everybody has to bow, im just over it. Connell be careful Ashley Webster and Stuart Varney are waiting for you at the door. David oh, forget it theres a reason stuart became an american citizen. The royals is one of those reasons. Connell by the way i read today , tmz said the crown, i didnt tell me this, but the executive producer of the crown apparently said they might not go long enough to get this. Melissa [gasping] deployment and the reason i think that we all love the crown is because there were historical ly significant things that the royal family was involved with all through the 40 s and the 50s and you started to get like this and now its just totally off the rail. I mean god bless Queen Elizabeth shes the last remaining person with character in that family, it appears i dont know. Connell well see you on bulls bears. David we got secretary of labor to talk about jobs and we also have more important to melissa and me the editor, the wine editor of food wine, to talk about the new 100 tariffs on french and italian wines, and we love american companies, but come on, maybe theres some way that we can, they are due to kick in next week that could double the price of our wine from overseas. Melissa well see you at the top of the hour. See he was the best one to ask about the royals. Connell who was he kidding . Melissa a small player with a big team. The San Francisco 49ers have a secret weapon to help them win the game and it is the first for the nfl.

A couple of years after he bought a 1977 mcqueen reached out and said look this is our car now, wasnt worth much then, but now. 4 million is something you paid 3,500 for. Connell that is a great, yeah youre right about that. Good story gary, good to see you thank you, sir.
