Great to see you ladies this monday morning. Linda kicking it off with you, what do you think is behind the move and how do you want to invest going to year end . The market is just really growing in terms of the expansion here. What youre seeing is small cap stocks finally getting a bid. Theres rotation going on but theres so much money on the sidelines, the earning season started very strong and con census consensus is clear that whoever wins the election, historically the 3 months of the year are the strongest going back 30 years for the whole world. Maria we had retail sales and gdp showing growth in china. Is that one of the triggers for investors this morning. China first with coronavirus, now seems to be turning around and seems to bode well for the economy. Thats starting to pick up. That may very well what you see. More looking over to the international side. Here in the United States the markets have gotten ahead of themselves. We could continue with all the strong stimulus. Perhaps next year when the dust settles, what about all of the money that we are spending and in terms of the value where 44 of gdp has been named in terms of stimulus and they are going to give us even more than that. Thats more than any country in the whole world. If you think the dollar is on its way to weaken, i kind of think we do, that might be interesting play going into next year. Internationally versus the u. S. Okay. Well, thats an interesting point to look at international because this morning weve got news out of europe where there are significant increasing lockdowns going on. Youve seen spikes in italy and spikes throughout europe and as a result they are locking down the economy. Are you including europe potentially looking across the world . Excellent point. Not europe, emerging markets that are poised to do well. Of course, if youre talking china you are talking merging markets. Europe has a lot of problems. Maria got it. Thats exactly right. Back in the u. S. The Service Sector has been hit hard because of the pandemic, linda. You know, the president is talking about firing up the Manufacturing Sector not just to get jobs from overseas country back in back but i assume the Service Sector have been hit so hard. But you think services will come back soon. Well, fingers are crossed for service. Thats what thats the part, of course, the part that has been hit hard. We call it the epicenter of the pandemic and to the extent we get the vaccine. People want to get back out there and get those jobs back again. You get some stimulus back and whoever is in place, more ppp and thats whats kind of dead right now, so thats what might look exciting Going Forward and, you know, the last 40 years if you look after the election historically, next 6 months was time for value. Pretty strong that way. Think about financials, think about energy betting up areas of the marketplace and that would play into as well with the services, the epicenter stocks that got hit. Maria all right, linda, we will leave it there. Linda dissell, great to see you, linda, come back soon. Morning mover, pfizer. Take a look at shares. Company aiming to have a million doses of potential Coronavirus Vaccine ready by the end of the year. It could file the emergency use in late november.

Those emails indicate massive business transactions with Foreign Companies where hunter biden was being being paid out for setting up meetings with his father, the Vice President. We will talk more about this right now. The president says the information found on Hunter Bidens emails is, quote, the real deal. I spoke with california congressman devin nunes yesterday, the Ranking Member on the Intel Committee, here is what he said on sunday morning futures. Congressman nunes, i want you to tell us what you believe is still out there, you have social media suppressing this news. Yeah, the way i look at this, maria, if the shoe was on the other foot, so, for example, if ivanka trump had gotten 3 and a half Million Dollar payment from russian oligarch, that would be a massive investigation. If they turned on Donald Trumps laptop emails tieing up to paper scheme, essentially what we have been investigating President Trump for years, the question right now by the Fake News Media and the social Media Companies would be this, it would be win, trump resigning, is he going to be impeached before the election and when is pence taking over. In fact, that would happen for any governor, any u. S. Congressman, any senator and, in fact, i know your family had a piece of business, if pizza business, i guaranty you you would be investigated. How in the world did Maria Bartiromo send maria this as we learn as the New York Post who broke the bombshell report is finding numerous instances where twitter employees and executives have a deep hatred for President Trump. The new report finds twitter employees hoping the president is defeated by joe biden and one employment calling for the president to, quote, diet in a fire and just to note, the New York Post account is still on lockdown, they would not release it until they delete the emails about joe biden. Joining me right now federalist Christopher Bedford. Christopher, this was quite extraordinary. I dont know if youve ever seen anything like this. We have actual evidence that hunter biden was carving in on fathers position and then coming up with arrangements where he was getting tens of millions of dollars and twitter will not disseminate the story. Your reaction . Chris i havent been thinking of pizza this Early Morning since college at least. Theres been a trail of evidence, theres been bank accounts, payments that have made no sense, he was vastly unqualified for and very well compensated for. The New York Post appears to have a smoking gun on this corruption of hunter biden, not of his father, thats not proven yet. So far twitters reaction is what we assume it would be. The New York Post story now and the new york story they published before, fox, daily caller, the federalist, twitter ceos and Vice President s, the senior engineers all across social media hate donald trump, want him to lose the election and want joe biden to win the election and want donald trump to die. At some point we have to take them at face value and i hope that jack is called in person and not over skype to answer questions. Thats the beginning of antitrust investigations and all other kinds of ways that the government can make company uncomfortable for trying to suppress americans. Maria fox news validated one of the emails found on laptop. This is about a chinese company. Hunter biden to executive, my understanding is the agreement was for consulting fees based on introductions alone at rate of 10 million a year for 3year grantee for of 30 million, the chairman changed in miami, 50 owned by me and 50 by him. Consulting fees are income stream but the reason proposal was so much more interesting to me and my family we would be partners in equity and profits of joint venture investments. Its extraordinary. The emails go on and on. Do you think people understand what has taken place here that hunter biden was doing make business dealings and transacting with companies that are linked to the governments there while his father was negotiating u. S. Policy with china . Chris yes, i do. Unfortunately i really do think its going to resinate for only one reason. Its not because the story was published and the New York Post was able to get it and giuliani appears able to have gotten it and the reason it will resinate and not ignored by leftwing media and have Biden Campaign say theres no evidence that joe did anything wrong, theres no evidence that joe did anything wrong, its because of twitter and facebooks massive, massive overreach. When you got to a point last week when they were censoring the personal account for the spokeswoman of the white house, they were censoring house judiciary committee. Thats picket charge maneuver, unnecessary overreach to protect their man joe biden. That means that something that could have been a 6hour news cycle even though its important in weird 2020 will be a discussion for weeks and weeks as more and more evidence of incredible attempts of corruption come out on laptop. Maria i mean, the corruption is just beyond. I dont know where this goes but obviously we are hearing that there are more emails and whats really striking to me is that the biden camp is not denying it. All they are saying, oh, the meeting wasnt on his official schedule, no kidding, i dont think that you would put that on your official schedule but they are not denying that the emails have validated and they are not denying that hunter biden has had business dealings while father was Vice President. We will keep watching and hope to have you back to keep talking about it. Final word. Chris thank you. If you insert a couple of fakes in real ones but so far sources are telling one not a single unverified email has been found. Maria all right, thank you so much, Christopher Bedford joining us from the federalist. We will keep watching. John ratcliffe, director of National Intelligence my International Guest today.

I spoke with the wisconsin senator ron johnson about his investigation into hunter biden working with companies overseas, connections to ukraine and cashing in on his fathers vice presidency. Take a listen. Senator, this morning you sent a letter to mr. Peter from blue star strategies, tell me what you sent why you sent him this letter and specifically youre looking for. Sec sen senator democratled lobbying firm that represented barisma, we subpoenaed them with their actions with federal government. On october 15th, we saw an email that should have been responsive to our subpoena that we did not receive. This email describes december 2nd, 2015 Conference Call hosted by the white house to discuss Vice President s Upcoming Trip to ukraine. Now its important about that. That would have been the trip we believe where Vice President biden laid out the ultimatum, they fired shulken or you wont get loan guaranty. They had to download it from Hunter Bidens computer. Maria so what you have here are pieces of evidence that show that joe biden was working along side hunter biden and the media as well as the fbi is covering all of this up. Dagen mcdowell, its really extraordinary to me that the fbi was sitting on this investigation from Hunter Bidens laptop for a year even as the president was being impa impeached. They got the information in 2019 and had in december 2019 and next month, january 2020 President Trump was impeached because of a fen phone call he had with the ukraine. The media refusing to discuss the story and theningle angle that youre looking at, we will not disseminate the story. Dagen action by social Media Companies blew this up for the American People because they went twitter went out of its way to make sure people did not read this piece of journalism from one of the largest papers in the country. Thats what crystallized it for so many people. The social Media Companies are in the pocket of the democrats and of the left and they will make sure they have the power to basically just wipe stories away, if you will. I raised this issue last week. Content obtained without authorization was one of the excuses that twitter gave for censoring the New York Post story. Well, thats the definition of journalism. Content without authorization. So theres antifree speech, antijournallism and antifirst amendment. I will point out because you raised the issue senator johnson is on this but the house gop is also asking the fbi about Hunter Bidens laptop, why did the fbi sit on it, as you pointed out this went straight to the president s Legal Defense during impeachment. Maria its absolutely extraordinary. Lee carter, we shouldnt be surprised because if for 3 years they lied and hid the story of no collusion. For 2 and a half years we were talking about President Trump potentially colluding with russia and what we learned just a few weeks ago is that, in fact, it was Hillary Clintons idea and approved a plan to tie trump to russia. It was simply one political opponent digging up dirt, making up stories about another. The problem is that the u. S. Intelligence agencies were all in and they entrapped the president and the media ran with it. We have another situation where the media is suppressing information so American People do not get a clear picture of whats going on. Would this resinate, lee . Lee so i think that out its way bigger story the censorship than the story itself. Now the story itself i think devin nunes, the sound that you played from him earlier, its absolutely true. If this were ivanka or eric trump or donald, jr. , it would be a totally different reaction but i also think the double standard here. The fact that conservatives feel censored, they feel lake their like their opinions will not be shared or tolerated. Thats the bottom loin and thiss is the thing that can Energize Voters in big numbers. Its the censorship thats the bigger story itself. Maria let me ask you this before we turn to commercial break. Ive only been covering washington having been at fox for 7 years. Were you aware of the massive corruption that is obvious in government . Lee i was not and i think that the people right now are seeing things very, very different than before. A lot of people trusted that all branches of government. Certain branches of government that were sacred and wasnt politics and they could trust those and we are seeing trust in institutions in alltime low and that doesnt help that in way, shape or form. Maria now we know better, thats for sure. I want to make sure everybody knows, later on this morning i have exclusive interview with director of National Intelligence. John ratcliffe sees more intelligence than anybody except for the president and he will weigh in on the hunterBiden Corruption story and why adam shift is calling it russian disinformation. John ratcliffe will know better. He will be with us. We will be right back. Now is the time for a new bath from bath fitter.

Those are your headlines, back to you. Maria cheryl, thank you so much. Economic impact of biden presidency. 2020 race heats up as beth both candidates prepare. Its going to be big. Journal Editorial Board with oped this morning. The cost of bidonomics, the Capital Stock per person by some 15 and real gdp per capita more than 8 . 6,500 less in median household income. Joining me right now former Trump Campaign communications director, republican strategist and mercury partner brian along with Bernie Sanders senior adviser, author chuck rocha. Great to see you, gentlemen, this morning, i so appreciate your time. Let me get your take first on the oped out of the journal. Brian, your reaction what the journal is calling impact on peoples lives should we see the policies materialize from joe biden. First of all, good morning, it just goes to show you they dont know what theyre doing and no clue on how the manage the economy. If you look at the bidenobama administration, tremendous slow growth. We dont have to point very far. The last time the president raised taxes was george bush and he delayed economic recovery. Its going to stifle the economic recovery that we need and thats dangerous of people trying to get out of situation from covid. Maria chuck, whats your take . What we have seen in the last 4 years the economy on two scales. I will never come on here and try to act like im an Economic Expert on pin heads from the universities. I will tell you the stock market has done really well and i will say that as a liberal democrat. The working class of americans, millions of peoplen employed and the covid crisis hit them right on the chin. The next president , whether its donald trump or joe biden is going to have a heck of a mess to pull us out of. On the brink of capacities, state of the union loans and i just heard what you said about report about credit, well, credit got better because theyve been stuck at the house and they lost job, their credit went up. I think itll be a lot tougher for anybody who will have to take on this economy starting on january 21st somebody is sworn in. Maria yeah, certainly has gotten a lot tougher with covid, chuck, i agree with that. But before covid showed up, in fact, we were seeing income inequality again to narrow and that was because wages were going up and i know its talking point to say the economy is uneven and the rich are getting all the big positives and its not falling throughout the economy, but, in fact, what we saw in february of this year, chuck, was income inequality beginning to narrow because you saw the earnings of the bottom earners rising for the first time. Thats what was happening before covid. I agree with you that this economy is going to be a tough situation for whoever is in the oval office because of covid. What do you think the most important policy will lift to all boats, i love what youre said. Im not going to claim to be some pin head knowing the economics of it. Thats so great. Youre so straightforward. In terms of the policy that you believe, for example, bernie, would implement in an environment like this, what would be most important . I would take it from the voice of america on focus groups, what they lock towards their government to try to help them with. Is it a tax cut, is it food or water, what i keep hearing around this healthcare issue because people are so unsure of where they are going to get their health care because many times as you neglect, maria, their health care was tied to the job that they lost, the kids still get sick and theres a lot of anxiety about what we are we are going to do, a huge issue that democrats and republicans use it to pin against each other. Thats at the heart of where most working americans want to see some relief. Maria brian, i think chuck makes a god good point. What is he planning to do that he has plan to save American People that has preexisting conditions to ensure that most americans can actually Access Healthcare plan and afford it . A couple of things. You have seen president signing executive order. No president has ever done that. Thats a president saying, no matter what we do with the healthcare reform thats needed, this is the baseline. Preexisting conditions will be off table and moving forward. You have seen him say time after time after time. The drive down the cost, the only way to drive down the cost is dealing with frivolous lawsuits that drive up health care. That was nod not addressed in obamacare. So i think what the president has done, they put together a plan, healthcare plan. Ive been waiting for them to roll it out. They have it out there and i think its good thing. Maria we will see you soon. We will be right back. Around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons.

I think that Savannah Guthrie was nice to President Trump during the debate. It was nice to see that they were nicer on snl than on real life. Maria its funny because you see the skits play out and its based on real life, but in real life its pretty scary to see the bias out there and the president has been unable to get a fair shot from the media at all. You know what, its so true. Someone told me, maria, that the more they go after the president and the more they attack him, the media, they dont do fair and balanced, if you will, the more that really, really confirms that President Trump is going to win in the land slid. Land slide. You dont hear about they did a sketch of donald trump children, hunter biden, isnt that right to do, you know what im saying . I have to give jim carrey credit. Hes on the money and funny, he was doing joe biden rattling on and joe biden as mr. Rogers and bob ross, that was knocked out, funny. People get mad when they come on the show. Snl was funny and they get mad at it. Im not going to discuss where i come from, snl. What about wolf blitzer and nancy pelosi. He was so scared of nancy pelosi. So scared, madame speaker. That was hysterical. I wanted to see that on snl this weekend. Maria youre right. I was wondering if that would be a skid as well. Do you miss it, joe, do you miss snl, your days on the show .

In asia overnight, markets were mostly higher, boosted by that news out of china, reporting a 4. 9 expansion in Third Quarter gdp from a year earlier, also china retail sales up 3. 3 . Of course these numbers are from the Chinese Communist party so we always look at that skeptically. Some of the top stories were watching this morning. President trump slamming joe biden over newly released emails showing his son, hunter biden, cashing in on his fathers position when he was Vice President. Joe biden is and always has been a corrupt politician. He always has been. And as far as im concerned, the biden family is a criminal enterprise. Maria the New York Post reporting twitter will not unlock its account unless tweets about this bombshell report are in fact deleted. Twitter will not disseminate the story. Twitter and facebook are under fire for saying that they will limit or censor the article. Joe biden blasting President Trump and his response to the coronavirus pandemic during a rally in north carolina. Trump said at one of his rallies, weve turned the corner. My grandfather would say this guys gone around the bend if he thinks we turned the corner. Turned the corner . Things are getting worse. He tones lie to us about the circumstances.

Meanwhile, house Speaker Nancy Pelosi says shell give democrats and republicans 48 hours to reach a deal if they want to pass Coronavirus Relief before the election.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is holding a listing hearing to determine whether the Ant Group Initial Public Offering can proceed, it likely will since chinas security regulators approved the dual listing worth 35 billion. This will be the largest ipo. The Company Still has to complete its registration for the shanghai leg of the ipo. Ant is backed by Alibaba Group and could earn a market valuation of between 200 and 300 billion. Time for the word on wall street. Joining me right now is requisite Capital Management managing partner, brin talkington, along with Kathleen Rooney vera. Its a good day to talk. We have a rally underway this morning, futures pointing to a gain of 228 points at the start of trading, 127 points higher on the nasdaq as investors assess the poe te potential for a stims package. We had really good numbers out of china. Does that tell you anything about the backdrop in the United States . I think were in an economic recovery, maria. The question is the initial vshape, what was it driven by. It was driven by fiscal and monetary stimulus. If more is in the offing, we go higher. A risk of the sputtering out of the initial phase of the vshape is real and if you look, maria, in march when we got the cares act and quadrupling of the fiscal deficit and the feds commitment to a 700 billion asset purchase program, you saw personal income rise or government benefits as a percent of personal incomes rise to 30 of . Thats an enormous number. That should scare us. Thats whats driven us to current highs and i think the market is banking on an additional multitrillion dollar fiscal stimulus package. I think its inevitable. Its not going to come before election day, maria. Maria its funny to hear nancy pelosi say im going to give you 24 hours, 48 hours, and yet its been her thats been stopping any deal. Shes over here, saying im going to give you this. Its fresh data shows chinas gdp was up 4. 9 year on year in the Third Quarter, this is a reminder that the data is released by the communist party but brin, you have good numbers here showing up on the economy in china. Whats your take on this . Yeah, i mean, i think in the Second Quarter china did 3. 2 . This quarter, to your point, its 4. 9. And we all knew that obviously the epicenter of covid19 was in china, they had very strict lockdowns, contact tracing. That means i think it gives us a good glimpse as once this passes and as we get closer to a vaccine and therapeutics over the next couple of months how quickly markets can rebound. I think within china and you americansed this before we started, i think investors should really be looking at the much anticipated ant group, Parent Company of ali pay, ipo dashing in the next month or so, i think ali pay a is looking to be one of the largest ip0sever and last year had close to 16 trillion of gross payment volume going to their system. I think as we see china recover, its a good glimpse that if we can get some stimulus our market wants to go higher and i think that its a good time for investors to stay invested because this will pass. Maria yeah. I think this is a good point that you make. Youve got the ant group ipo and youve got a consistency in terms of lots of ipos in the calendar and thats been really robust calendar. Were showing on the screen a deal thats crossing right now. Conocophillips, all stock deal to acquire concho. Valued at almost 10 billion. The deal flow has also been there with deals andism pos brett ipos pretty strong. Does that indicate that this market has resil resiliency, are things positive for a rally. Absolutely. The market wants to go higher. Investors need to sit back, climb the wall of worry and stay invested and enjoy next year and later on this year. I do think we will have a vaccine, we will have better therapeutics. Maria all right. Then theres Third Quarter earnings season, kicking into high gear this week. Eight dow components reporting, including ibm, intel, verizon communications. There ar are 80 of companies on tap. It whim be a big week. Your expectations and how do the earnings so far appear to you . We saw banks report earnings last week, they were better than expected. The previous round of stimulus are keeping earnings afloat. All eyes will be on technology over the next two weeks. Technology was one of the main sectors that benefited from the pandemic. If that shows signs of weakness, all sectors will show signs of weakness. Investors will Pay Attention to the optimism of technology. Covid19 cases are rising again, European Countries are shutting down again. If we shut down the economy again, well see what we had the first time but on steroids. Shutting down the economy the first time was like breaking the left arm. If we shut down the economy again its like breaking our right arm and falling down. It would take a large time to recover. Thats large corporations. We saw a disconnect between main street wall street. That is something to look for in earnings. Its important to be proactive and not reactive with your portfolio. Its important to be active over passive and stay disciplined in this environment. Thats how you add to your portfolio over time. Maria are you saying you want to buy stocks here or are you being selective in terms of what you want to buy. You have you to be selective and active with your investment strategy. If youre not, theres a reason two weeks ago i talked about why its important to own winners instead of losers. I want to own the winners and be active and Pay Attention in the current environment because things are changing every single day. Maria all right. Well leave it there. Thank you so much. Markets up 200. Also you ahead this morning, coming up, former new york city mayor, Rudy Giuliani is here talking about the hunter Biden Corruption report and his take on the election, just two weeks away. Next hour, we will get exclusive insight from the director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe on the hunter biden report plus twitters censorship of conservative voices and director of office and trade and Manufacturing Policy peter know vair row joins me navarro is joining me. Joining me the conversation all important morning Dagen Mcdowell and lee carter. Youre watching mornings with maria live on fox business. Everyone remembers the moment they heard. You have cancer. How their world stopped and when they found a way to face it. For some, this is where their keytruda story begins. Keytruda a breakthrough immunotherapy that may treat certain cancers. One of those cancers is advanced nonsquamous, nonsmall cell lung cancer where keytruda is approved to be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment if you do not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. Keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. This can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. See your doctor right away if you have new or worse cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, increased hunger or thirst, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in urine or eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. These are not all the possible side effects. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including immune system problems, or if youve had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant, or have lung, breathing, or liver problems. Today, keytruda is fdaapproved to treat 16 types of advanced cancer. And is being studied in hundreds of Clinical Trials exploring ways to treat even more types of cancer. Its tru. Keytruda from merck. See the different types of cancer keytruda is approved to treat at keytruda. Com, and ask your doctor if keytruda can be part of your story. And ask your doctor if keytruda before money, people tools, cattle, grain, even shells represented value. Then currency came along. They made it out of copper, gold, silver, wampum. Soon people decided to put all that value into a piece of paper, then proceeded to wave goodbye to value, printing unlimited amounts of money as they passed the buck to the future. Thats why its time for Digital Currency and your investment in the grayscale funds. Go digital. Go grayscale. Maria welcome back. More fallout over the hunter biden bombshells, emails from the former Vice President s sons laptop reveal massive business transactions with foreign entities including a potential deal with a chinese Energy Company. I spoke with wisconsin senator ron johnson on sunday morning futures about bidens involvement in these transactions. Theres one email that fox news has been able to verify, in that email it indicates that were going to hold some money or something aside, 10 , for the big guy. Who is the big guy . Well, people of course are assuming that is Vice President biden and of course theres a completely different computer now with different emails. This man, together with archer devin, was convicted. Hes sitting in jail. Archer devin oddly enough, his jury conviction was overturned by a judge who just happens to be married to one of the members of muellers special counsel team that was a lead prosecutor in the Paul Manafort trial. Were finding more and more validation that the emails are true. This requires Serious Investigation and the fact that the Mainstream Media is suppressing this information from the American Public is a scandal in and of itself. Maria joining me right now is trump 2020 president ial Campaign Senior advisor jason miller. The amount of corruption is just striking. Its really unsettling and upsetting to see what has taken place, what has taken place in washington these last four years and beyond. Do you think this is resonating with the American People . Do you think people are going to vote based on what were seeing, this corruption . Maria, good morning and absolutely, just in the same way we saw clinton become such a big deal down the home stretch in 2016, biden inc. , a reminder that biden is a 47 year fixture in the swamp in washington, d. C. , this is a big part of the reason why voters rejected Hillary Clinton in 2016, why theyre going to reject joe biden in 2020. Voters are sick and tired of politicians going to washington, getting elected and getting themselves and family members rich, selling access to their office while other people get left behind and maria, that was a great clip you played from senator ron johnson. Theres Serious National Security issues right now. I think joe biden is compromised, clearly compromised by the chinese, if not multiple other governments and its a real simple answer and joe biden has dodged this multiple times. Real basic, former Vice President , are you the big guy . Are you the chairman . Is hunter biden handling family expenses and setting aside money for you . Its a yes or no question. Maria so weve got emails that indicate hunter biden was being paid out by ukrainian companies, Chinese Companies, now it appears that theres something on companies in kazhakstan as well. How is it possible that this all went on, under the radar, and people didnt understand that hunter biden was traveling with his father, setting up meetings, saying to them pay me and then ill introduce you to my father. How did this go on with a Vice President in place for two terms . Because the media only covers it if its a republican. They turned a blind eye to anything democrats do. Again, for folks that are watching at home, might not realize this. They did it all out in the open. Hunter biden flew to china on air force 2 with former Vice President biden to go try to close this 1. 5 billion investment deal with a bank thats tied in with the chinese government. I mean, the fact that they do this out in the open is just ridiculous and 10 million a year, simply just for access or a board putting you on an Energy Company for 83,000 a month with no energy experience. Its all for one thing. Its to sell access. And mari maria, were talking at the information has been backed up by fox news independently in addition to the New York Post. We havent started scratching the surface of joe bidens brothers who have been making a lot of money off the system for years many i think were just Getting Started here. Maria so the Biden Campaign is not denying that these emails are Hunter Bidens but joe biden is not answering any questions on it. Theres video that a reporter asked joe biden whats your comment on the fbi seizing Hunter Bidens laptop last year . He just walked away. I assume this is going to come up on thursday night for this upcoming debate. Is the president planning on bringing this up if the moderator doesnt . I mean, the president weighed in on the scandal this weekend with a tweet and the president tweeted this. Hunter bidens laptop is a disaster for the entire biden family but hes h especially fos father, joe. Its a proven fact and cannot be denied that all of the information is the real deal. That makes it impossible for 50 or 10 joe to ever assume the office of the president. Hes referring to the 10 for the big guy email. Is the president planning on bringing this up thursday night . Well, if the moderator doesnt bring it up i think youre safe to assume that the president will. Again, these are real simple questions that joe biden needs to answer to the American Public and keep in mind this is supposed to be a debate on Foreign Policy. I know the Debate Commission is trying to move the goal post yet again an work in a bunch of other issues. Were going to talk about bidens support for endless wars, talk about the piles of cash, loaded up to billions of dollars, sent them to iran and were going to talk about all the foreign corruption, the foreign money thats been coming into the biden family and if joe biden cant answer these real simple questions, you know hes running from something. Maria are you serious . The debate was supposed to be about Foreign Policy and now the Debate Commission is changing it after this news broke . You know, the American People just want honesty. Thats all we want is an honest election. Jason, its good to see you this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you. Maria jason miller from the Trump Campaign. Tune in next hour, ill be getting exclusive insight from the director of National Intelligence, john rase cliff sees more ratcliffe sees more intelligence than anybody else other than the president. He is going to tell us if this is real, if this is russian disinformation. Hell tell us what he knows about the hunter Biden Corruption reports coming up at 8 00 a. M. Eastern, dont miss it. Well be right back. Maria welcome back. More fallout from the biden bombshell, this morning from Hunter Bidens emails which revealed huge business transactions with Foreign Companies while his father was the Vice President. Hunter was getting payouts for setting up meetings with his father to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, setting up joint ventures. President trump says the information reported by the New York Post is, quote, the real deal. On sunday morning futures i spoke with donald trump junior and got his take, take a listen. What were finding right now is everything that the democrats and the media i group them as one in the same at this point. Thats pretty clear. You can include social media with that. Everything that they hoped and prayed i was doing, that they made me testify for 30 hours for, that they said i committed treason doing, hunter biden was actually doing with knowledge of joe biden. Maria this is unbelievable. And dagen, you know that what im most struck by is the fact that the fbi had this information a year ago. The fact that the fbi had the emails and the laptop in its possession in november of 2019. They had it in december of 2019. And a month later, the senate impeached donald trump because of a phone call he had with the head of ukraine. If you are in possession of information that indicates that his opponent, joe biden, was actually having his son do deals with ukraine, wouldnt that have been information to take to congress to raise your hand about, while a Senate Impeachment trial is underway, dagen . Dagen right. The American People deserve an answer from the fbi as to what was going on there and i know that its more than a dozen gop members of the house have called on the fbi to answer that. And we should point out that joe biden on friday was asked at a detroit airport about the story about Hunter Bidens laptop and his response was i have no response, another smear campaign, right up your alley which was directed at the cbs reporter. So thats his response. And it was a testy response. Maria thats the response even as senator ron johnson is calling on the fbi director, Christopher Wray, to confirm or deny the details related to the hunter biden laptop scandal. Trump is saying his father will clean up the fbi in a second term. Heres donald trump junior. And the reality is, i think when donald trump wins, he has to break up the highest level of the fbi. He has to get rid of these things and more importantly, maybe break up the swamp in general. You know, why is the department of the interior headed out of washington. Why dont we spread all of those things up throughout america and maybe these people and leaders, i use that in loose air quotes, can be more around the people that they truly represent rather than being controlled by the swamp that we now recognize is totally corrupted and totally broken. Thats Donald Trumps next move if im him and if he wins which i think he will because whats going on is disgusting. This is the stuff of communist china. Maria lee carter, your reaction to this . Should donald trump get a second term, i would expect that Christopher Wray is going to be out. Same with gina haspel. Let me remind you of one other thing. It took John Ratcliffe, the director of National Intelligence, to out the emails and the john brennan notes that indicate Hillary Clintons idea to tie donald trump to russia. It was all Hillary Clintons idea. These are handwritten notes from john brennan and they were sitting there at the fbi, Christopher Wrays overseeing it. It took the director of National Intelligence to declassify that, to allow america to understand what took place. This is whats been going on the last four years. The fbi sitting on documents. Thats called obstruction of justice. Lee i think what were going to see now, and we have seen for some time, is trust in institutions that are most important to us is dead. And when you lose trust in institutions, then we really lose a lot in this country. And thats when things can get really dangerous. So i think its very, very important that the integrity of these institutions is restored. Maria i could not agree more. Bingo. Coming up, probing wrong doing, were going to talk with former new york city mayor, Rudy Giuliani, he is here to discuss the hunter Biden Corruption reports that he helped to break. What he knows, whats coming out next. Apparently there is a trove, a treasure. Hillarytrove theyre callingit e released this week. Plus name that tune, google has a tool to help you find the song thats stuck in your head. Its making a buzz this morning. Youre watching mornings with maria, live on fox business.

A look at march a gets this morning, 7 32 a. M. On the east comment. Futures indicating a gain of 200 points on the dow industrials out of the gate, the nasdaq is up 119, s p 500 higher by 28. Markets are boosted by positive gdp and retail Sales Numbers out of china, indicating a recovery economy. Friday the market was mixed but investors reacted to strong retail Sales Numbers and hopes for a vaccine by yearend. The dow industrials were up 112 points on friday, nasdaq was lower by 42. S p 500 higher by half a point. New lockdown measures are in effect across europe after spikes in coronavirus. The fq100 is down 14, cac is up 16, dax lower by 8 points. In asia overnight markets mostly higher. Interesting to note that the shanghai come pos it did not react to pretty good news out of china, reporting a 4. 9 expansion in Third Quarter gdp from a year earlier, retail sales were up 3. 3 , these numbers from the Chinese Communist party and the best performer overnight was japan, nikkei average up better than 1 . Back here this morning, more fallout from Hunter Bidens e mails revealing huge business trans, with Foreign Companies tied to foreign governments while his father was the sitting Vice President. Hunter was getting payouts for setting up meetings with his father to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and also setting up joint ventures where he and potentially his father could have a stake in them. I spoke with california congressman devin nunes on sunday morning futures yesterday to get his reaction to last weeks news. Your colleague in the Intel Committee, adam schiff, is telling the press that this is all russian disinformation. And you say . Well, i would just say go back for the last four years, this is the genius that said he had more than circumstantial evidence that the Trump Campaign was colluding with russia. What we now know is we now have evidence it was actually the democrats, the Democratic National committee and the Clinton Campaign that were colluding with russia. Maria joining me right now is, former new york city mayor, President Trumps personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. Thank you so much for joining us. You have been talking about this for a long time and finally we have some evidence here from these emails. Tell us how you see it. What took place here, rudy . Well, i mean, i proved this about four different times including eyewitnesses, tapes, that go back a year. The hard drive when viewed completely, which i have now done, i mean, is a damning piece of evidence not just against joe biden, but against a number of members of his family. And what it shows is out of the words of his son, a 30year conspiracy. In which his son, his brother, several other relatives would act as bag men, meaning they would collect the money, and at least half it would go back to joe. Sometimes more. So we have one specific transaction where joey joe is getting, this is after hes out of office actually, hes in business with what is probably a front for a Chinese Communist operation. The guy who was running it is a Chinese Communist operative named xi ying ming who is now probably sitting below the river. And joes family is going to get 10 million a year. And theyre going to get 50 of the profits. Joe will get according to the calculation done by his relatives on the hard drive, joe will get about half of that. But then hell get 10 of the overall profit and you see that on the piece of paper you just put on. It says 10 to h, meaning hunter, for the big guy. So now weve got to figure out who the big guy is, unless youre the New York Times and the Washington Post and the corrupt media, you know who the big guy is. Its joe. Just in case you wonder, the very next or second email after that, theyre giving of out the keys to the new office of this Chinese Communist front. The first two keys are going to go to joe biden and jill biden. Its outrageous, maria. This is outrageous. The guy was going to be in business with Chinese Communists and hes running for president. And his son was in business with the chinese government, one of his Vice President s. Its outrageous. And why he sold us out to china. Maria and i think thats why most many people cannot believe this. I mean, its so extraordinary. I cant believe it. Maria its so outrageous. This is an outrageous scandal. Maria did the president he was on air force 2 more often than anyone. Maria but doesnt trump understand. Hold on. When you first look at this story, its so outrageous, its so corrupt that most people say it could not have happened. Did president obama know . Did anybody else in the administration know . How is it possible that hunter biden is profiting off of the fact that his father is Vice President and theyre doing side deals that say hunters going to get 10 , the big guys going to get 10 , weve got a joint venture. Just so that hunter can in exchange for the money give influence and give meetings with the Vice President of the United States. Who else knew in the administration, in your view . Well, if they didnt know, they didnt know deliberately. I mean, if they didnt know, we dont have an Intelligence Service during the obama administration. I mean, his contacts with ukraine, russia, china, had to be monitored. Hes the son of the Vice President. Meanwhile, half the time hes out on crack. Just look at the photographs. Out on crack during most of the time. You dont think the chinese have that . You dont think the russians have that . If we dont have that, we dont have enemies, theyre not worthy adversaries. Of course they have it. They have joke locked up 10 of different ways. We wonder why did joe sell out to china. Maybe because he was getting 30, 40 million from china. I dont know. Nobody else gets that brave to say theyre selling out and their kid was getting 3 of or 4 30 or 40 of million. Maria what youre hitting on goes beyond corruption. What youre hitting on now are National Security issues for the United States of america. 100 . Maria if china has all of this on hunter biden and has all of this on joe biden, thats a National Security problem. That is thats exactly what they were saying about trump four years ago. Gigantic one. Maria obviously not true at all. But this is where this gets to. So my next question has to be why did the fbi sit on this . The fbi had this laptop in november of 2019. Two months later, there was a senate trial to impeach donald trump President Trump impeached by the senate and youre telling me that the fbi is sitting on information about payouts to hunter biden from ukraine, exactly what 245eur theyre talking about with trump in the impeachment and they dont raise their hand, they dont send this to congress. I dont understand this. I understand it. Now i do. They didnt send the brennan note either that would actually obviate the whole russian probe. Hillary is responsible for the russian probe according to the brennan memos. They hid that. The only thing i can conclude is theres a small group at the top of the fbi that hates trump. And they havent been rooted out. They havent been taken out. Theyre still there. And they hate this country. Im sorry. You dont do this to this country. When you sit hunter biden maria this is an extraordinary scandal. When you see hunter biden next to barack obama, ill give you a picture of hunter biden in a crack den three days later. Now, Intelligence Service doesnt know that theyre letting into the white house and putting on air force 2 a completely degenerate crack addict. The pictures of him smoking crack are overwhelming. Im not going to tell you what the other pictures are. The pictures of him smoking crack are overwhelming, with women, without women, by himself, locked up in a closet. This guy is Walking Around the white house, hes on air force 2, air force 1 and our Intelligence Service doesnt know it. If they did know it maria i get that. Thats bad. I would rather not focus on the drug part of this because people have problems. He obviously has problems. Thats his problem. I wish him well. But if he is raping the United States, if he is taking money from Chinese Companies that are tied to the Chinese Communist party and enriching his own family including a sitting Vice President , thats something that the whole country should be outraged about. Put the drugs aside. I just want to talk about what potentially went on heren here d what the National Security risks are. I cant put the drugs aside, maria. Nobody hires a drug addict and gives him 20 million. How many things do we need to prove that joe biden was getting the money. When the crooked ukrainian oligarch gave the family from 10 to 14 million. You mean to tell me they were paying for hunter biden who got tossed out of the navy because of drugs. Its a drug problem that his father imposed on the United States of america. Maria thats a fair point. I used to give joe the benefit of the doubt. I used to say he sold out to china because hes dumb, because hes been dumb since hes a killed he didnt sell out to he didnt sell out to china because hes dumb. He sold out because china owns him. The people who were screwed are the people of the United States. Maria thats right. Every negotiation he was involved in, the crooked biden crime nam family made millions. The outrageous press is hiding it. Theyre as guilty as he is. Maria thats a massive scandal, the fact that the press is hiding this. Twitter and facebook have made a decision, we will not disseminate this information. What are you going to do about it . How are you going to ensure that the American People understand what took place here . Anybody would be outraged by this. Then again, for four years the Mainstream Media went with this story of collusion, President Trump colluding with the russians and then they were the whole story blew up in their face and theres been no ma mea culpa there either. Maybe im not surprised that the media is hiding this story. Theyve taken a side. All ky do is speak all i can do is speak the truth. Ive been attacked. Ive been threatened. I lost clients. I lost friends. Ive been investigated by the Southern District of new york for no reason at all except harassment. Theyve done everything to silence me they can possibly do. All that does is make me more determined because they are hurting my country very, very badly. This is a criminal conspiracy by the bidens to sell out the United States of america. What they leave behind in ukraine and china, in russia, is the impression that were a corrupt country. All of us are corrupt. And by the way, the way corporations are acting, maybe we are. Maybe too many of us are corrupt and we should get them the hell out of government and get them the hell out of business because were mostly honest people.

Jobs in america, both President Trump and joe biden making american jobs a cornerstone of their president ial campaigns, the candidates are calling for supply chains to be brought back from china, back to the United States as the made in america remains a priority. But what would this mean for real estate with the boom in American Business . Joining us right now to talk about that is rock spring founder and ceo, jim mccallister. Great to see you this morning. Thank you so much for being here. Hi, maria. Great to be back with you. Maria you know, i think during this pandemic, Many Americans figured out and learned the fact that 70 of the active ingredients in our prescription drugs are made in china. And i think many people said whoa, whoa, we cannot rely on foreign governments to produce something so important as, you know, penicillin and ibuprofen, et cetera. That was one of the springboards to getting this theme going to where weve got to produce here, weve got to create jobs here, fire up the manufacturing base. How easy is it to do that . That cant happen overnight, though, right . Weve got a lot of manufacturing of american important items happening in china. Thats correct, maria. But it is going to happen, no doubt. Theres too much of a spotlight on this serious problem so theres going to be millions of manufacturing jobs coming back to the good old us of a from china which is great and i have no doubt in my mind that texas will receive more of those jobs than any other state. We have one is scale. We have the tenth largest economy in the world, low taxes, low regulations, natural resources, infrastructure, and so i can tell you without a doubt that the crane will continue to be the state bird of texas for quite some time. Maria well, i mean, youve got a high tax exodus, texas becoming one of the hottest markets for business. Comparing the tax taxes on businesses, california puts a nearly 9 Corporate Tax rate on companies while texas charges less than 1 , franchise tax, no income tax there as well. What has happened as a result of all of this . So maria, precovid, texas was leading the nation in job growth and population growth. What weve seen since covid hit is an acceleration into the migration into texas. Because of these extreme lockdowns, extreme problems that these other states are having, so the movement into texas is happening at even a faster pace and thats having a dramatic positive impact on our Real Estate Market throughout the state, throughout the very different sectors too. Maria real quick, where are the jobs in america right now, jim . You know, the jobs are happening. Texas is for sure leading. Theyre just jobs are flooding away from high tax, high regulation places like new york and california and flooding into primarily texas, but throughout the other states that have similar attributes aztecs as. Maria as texas. Maria good to see you this morning. Thank you so much. Be sure to preorder my new book, the cost, the book is out next week.

On the button on the east coast, we are in countdown mode november election 15 days before 2020 general election headed into home stretch are a both gear up for debate thursday night in middle of it all to recovers swirling around the bidens emails from hunter biden laptop reveal massive business tractions transactions with Foreign Companies his father sitting Vice President hunter getting payouts for setting up meetings with his father to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, monlts from now we will get conclusive insight on what is real and what is not real from the director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe here coming up, futures pointing to rally underway this morning we are expecting a tripp digital nasdaq up 121 s p 500 higher by 26, markets boosted by gdp retail Sales Numbers out of china indicating a stronger economy, friday meanwhile, markets mixed after investors reacted also to strong retail sales hopes for vaccine seems recovery is in place the dow industrials up 1 twvl points friday, the nasdaq down 4 the s p was higher one half of a point white house trade adviser Peter Navarro to talk about economic focus on swing states we will take a look the air up there airplanes may be safest from coronavirus, a full report coming up mornings with maria is live right now. Maria european markets are mixed take a look ft 100 down 127 cac quarante is up 11 dax lower by 18, there are new lockdown measures in place in europe and amid a spike in covid cases there, that is why investors reacting that way asia overnight markets mostly higher chiern 4. 9 expansion Third Quarter gdp from year earlier retail sales in china up 3. 3 , of course, numbers coming from Chinese Communist party, so we look at them skeptically it does suggest a stronger economy, hunter biden bombshell emails,the emails reportedly coming from former Vice President s son laptop computer reveal massive business transactions with foreign entities, including a potential deal with a Chinese Energy firm tied to the Chinese Communist party, i spoke with wisconsin senator run a johnson on sunday morning futures yesterday what fbi knew about these emails. First thing we do we got contacted by whistleblower day after we issuing our report, on ukraine, was we contacted fbi, is this story is can you verify any of this, a couple days to basically give no information i sent another letter yesterday, because fbi has a duty, to inform us if they believe this is maybe rush disinformation should gives us he go briefings we are trying to assess out of fbi what do they know when did they know it a large question really is if they have this information, these are genuine emails, and this is probably veelths all kinds of things relevant to the impeachment case why did they sit on it . Are they covering up because hunter biden might be engaged in things that also maybe should have been investigated possibly interested . Prosecuted. Do we have two systems of justice one for democrats republicans wol kekdz versus americans i think larger issue at play. Exactly right, well said by senator reason johnson joining me director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, director it is great to have you this morning. Thank you so much for being here. Good morning, maria. Good to be with you. I want to start, on the validity of all this because, we have been doing a deep dive into this laptop and emails when indicate hunter biden was cashing in on his fathers position. Adam schiff, from the chairman of the Intel Committee out and about on sunday morning shows saying all this news is just russian disinformation, and not true. You were the director of National Intelligence, you see more intelligence than anybody in the country. Other than the president of the United States. So you can tell us what is real and what is fake. Is this russian disinformation director . So maria funny that some of the people that complained the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicking intelligence unfortunately in this case, it is adam schiff chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who as you pointed out friday said the Intelligence Community believes that Hunter Bidens laptop and emails on it are part of some Russian Disinformation Campaign. Let me be clear Intelligence Community doesnt believe that there is no intelligence that supports that we have is a shared no intelligence with chairman assist or any other member of congress that Hunter Bidens laptop is part of a Russian Disinformation Campaign. It is simply not true. That is exactly what i said would i stop when i became director of National Intelligence that is people using Intelligence Community to leverage some political narrative in this case apparently chairman schiff wants anything against his preferred political candidate deemed not real using or attempting to use Intelligence Community to see nothing to see here dont drag Intelligence Community into this is hunter biden laptop is not part of some Russian Disinformation Campaign i think it is clear that American People know that. Emails from laptop are pretty stunning, and they indicate agreements with Chinese Companies ukraine yain companies hunter biden getting a stake in companies in response to introductions to his father, as Vice President. Here is one that were looking at right now my understanding the original agreement with director was to consulting fees based on introductions alone at rate of 10 Million Dollars a year three year guarantee, total 30 Million Dollars, the chairman changed the deal after in miami,agreed to much more lasting lucrative arrangement to create a Holding Company 50 owned by me 50 owned by him the big guy gets 10 later on in the email, this email is legitimate. So, maria the fact that i know so little about those emails and what is apparently on Hunter Bidens laptop underscores the point i just made this is not part of some Russian Disinformation Campaign the Intelligence Community has not been involved with Hunter Bidens laptop, hunter biden is u. S. Person, he would be subject to any investigation regarding fraud or corruption would be rightfully jurisdiction of the fbi so fbi has had possession of this what i can say without commenting on any investigation, that they may have in corruption or fraud, is to say that their investigation does not center around russian disinformation, the Intelligence Community is playing no roam with respect to that. Maria so what are we supposed to do . Here adam schiff calling it russia disinformation two weeks before election people are under impression not real is adam schiff lying to American People . This is an elected official. Yeah, maria what we do we tell the trying to my role as director National Intelligence to not allow people to leverage Intelligence Community for political narrative that is not true in this case, adam schiff saying that this is part of some Russian Disinformation Campaign and that the i. C. Has accepted that believes that is not true i appreciate the opportunity to be able to tell the American People, that that is the case. And i will continue to do that whether republicans or democrats, if they try and leverage the Intelligence Community for political gain i wont allow it. Maria well, i mean, what do we know i mean the fbi has been sitting on this for a year, director ratcliffe, why didnt the fbi raise this issue while President Trump was being impeached . If they had this information, since november, december of 2019, two months later, february 16th, was january 16th rather, was the impeachment trial went all the way until february 5th no mention from fbi what they were sitting on impeachment trial was all about President Trumps phone call with head of ukraine, wouldnt that have been the opportunity for at fbi to say hold on, we have this, and we are investigating it . I think so, maria. You know, from my perspective you remember during you impeachment i was a member of at the time the First Administration to express concern about hunter biden relationship with burisma what was going on in ukraine was ob administration wasnt Trump Administration that was raised during the impeachment trial. But, again, that would be those are fair questions for the fbi, i heard senator johnsons concerns about that, fbi should be providing that information to him and other members of congress and to the American People to the extent not related to an investigation, but, again, to underscore first point that i made, this has nothing to do with Intelligence Community or russian disinformation if it was i would know that. So to be clear it is not. Maria this was the same situation that we faced around the narrative that President Trump colluded with russia you were congressman investigating much of this during 2018, 2019 you joined me on my program many times, asking the fbi to release documents. They didnt they sat on documents so people did not really understand, it took you, coming out just a few weeks ago, and declassifying hand wrib notes john brenwrote indicated Hillary Clinton had idea to tie President Trump to russian, the fbi knew it again, that was not released until a couple weeks ago,by you, how long did fbi sit on that . Well, maria, so to rhyme people what i declassified it was you a thoentic russian intelligence briefed by former counterintelligence director brennan to president obama and Vice President biden, then it was properly referred by cia to fbi for investigation. All related to a Hillary Clinton plan to create trumprussia collusion narrative that wasnt true, it wasnt just fbi it was intelligence and the community that knew it Hillary Clinton did create, hired steele for that purpose was used in connection with the steele dossier was used, for fisa applications all of that, i think what is different when i declassified that information this is first time members of congress and American People, know now that our Intelligence Community and our Law Enforcement community were air that have before crossfire hurricane counterintelligence investigation was ever opened, those are the issues, that john durham is looking at those are issues that resulted in what we know to counterintelligence investigation were illegal they were criminal we know that we know what happened at fisa court was illegal as a result one person pled guilty will go to jail hopefully as a result of durhams investigation, will ultimately find out who else was involved what other crimes were committed, and, you know, that process will have to play out but you are right, maria. Remember when we started all of this we were doing interviews, everyone said that is bunch of nonsense, there is no abuse at fisa court there was no to criminality, there, and i had told you look i have seen underlying applications, and i know what i know. What happened here was illegal and improper and ultimately we got to the truth. Maria director, why would anybody trust the government when we see so much corruption . When we see all these lies to try to take down a candidate and then a sitting president . I want to slip in a short break then i want to ask you more about this, because what were learning, in the last couple of weeks, should outrage all americans. This is a trampling on our rieths our liberties we are talking with director of National Intelligence this morning John Ratclifferoot rite after this short break thank you director. Hold on.

Maria the media has become crazed the Big Tech Companies have become crazed wont let the fact we caught him if a total corrupt deal wont let news get out. We know this smear on yb comes from kremlin have a that is been clear well over a year now theyve been pushing a falls narrative about the Vice President and his son. Maria i am talking with director of National Intelligence this morning John Ratcliffe you heard President Trump, and congressman adam schiff, pushing the blame on the kremlin, claiming russia is responsible for you hunter biden email story back with director ratcliffe director how is it possible an elected official gets away with going on television and saying something as false as emails hunter biden situation not true it is disinformation from kremlin even after for you years three years really, whereas as went on lots of shows, and said that President Trump colluded with russia that was in plain sight you the why no accountability . He is elected official. How does he come out on news media say all things if it is not true director . Well, unfortunately, as you know maria i was a member of congress, and members of congress have to ability and have a platform to say things, to say those things not under oath and to make representations to the American People. Unfortunately, sometimes the things they say and things they represent are not true, in this case, in this caseing with regard to Hunter Bidens laptop being part of a disinformation campaign, Intelligence Community believing it or not the thing is to have officials like me come out tell American People the only intelligence adam schiff gets is intelligence that we the Intelligence Community give him we have given him no such intelligence. So to be clear about that. But to your early point maria about you know how can people trust what is going on, is you know this is an administration, i realize may be hasnt happened as quickly as people want, but President Trump has put people in important positions, to bring truth, to the American People, about issues, yeah, i should not have been the one four years later to have to bring this information to light but the fact is, i have been able to do that. And i will continue to do that i think that, you know, one of the things that American People have to consider is the fact that some of the people that committed these abuses of power very clearly that is what they were abuses of power, within the Intelligence Community, and within Law Enforcement some which now proven criminal those are same people want to return to power. They want to have the same opportunity to control the leaveers of power to mislead American People i think that is something that the American People should consider, as they go in, and you know look at elections, and everything that is going on, in this country, but, again, i think it is important that we have the opportunity to bring truth to what what the American People should know i am going to continue to do that as long as i am privileged to hold this position. Maria so we know that Hillary Clinton comes out with the idea to tie trump to you a russia scandal, and then the intelligence agencies of our great country are weaponized, and there entrapment going on Trump Campaign people targeted unlawfully carter page no charges lobbed against carter page how come we havent more accountability people might say okay Hillary Clinton came up with the story against political opponent you say fbi was a complicit in all this we dont see indictments we dont tee prosecutions what is taking so long, director . Why cant American People actually see justice in all of this. Again, i think some of this is because, some of the documents that that underscore the abuses of power are just coming to light i mean i have just declassified some of them, you know, that is is has been, a process that has been in, you know, in the works, but, you know, with respect to the to the accountability, you know, i respect the fact durham prosecutors should not be looking at election calendars they should be, you know, concerned with fair agency of justice i am sure john durham is trying to do that frankly prez best opportunity for their thereby accountability justice there have been indictments there has been an indictment someone will go to prison for things that occurred at the fisacourt that should not have happened, my hope is our best chance for there to be accountability for there to be people, held responsible for things that should not have happened, in the Intelligence Community and in the Law Enforcement community against a political campaign, begins a political candidate by the other party, is to not put those folks back in power for this swept away. Should there be special counsel investigating this. I think most important thing without getting into special counsel let process of justice work its way through there is someone that is approaching it carefully it is resulted in indictments an indictment i think there will be more indictments, based on the intelligence that i have access to i certainly believe that there should be. Director ratcliffe good to see you this morning thanks very much John Ratcliffe joining us this morning. Well be right back. Nonvalvular afib can mean a lifetime of blood thinners.

Maria welcome back, markets rallying this morning futures indicating a triple digit move out of the gate dow industrials up 180 points, the nasdaq up 112 s p 500 up 26. Investors weighing potential for stimulus package China Economic recovery joining me right now is Merrill Lynch Wealth Management president thank you for joining us this market has been on a real momentum move for sometime. It will not quit. First tell us what you think is driving the activity, and do you think this bull market is in place . And sustainable . Well we do think the bull market is in place we think sustainable, 2020 has been a tough year, we see out ahead in 2020s what we think ice phenomenon natural decade stimulus liquidity from washington dollar readjusted you see housing coming back very committing levels of Capital Investment this ranges from, the digital revolution we are feeling in covid era maybe like never before, to the reshoring across heartland u. S. Manufacturing jobs coming back we this that is a sustained trend. You are looking at long term andy do you think it is worthwhile for investors, to come up with different port portfolios nearterm based on who wins election or just look at longterm opportunities in this market and longterm growth, and for you what is long term andy. Most Retail Centers long term is way to look at it from longterm perspective you want to be exposed to equity market particularly u. S. Equity market the story the u. S. Economy on shortterm basis expect seesaw uncertainty after covid having election uncertainty if you have cash recommend stepping in in stages next several months with discipline but as long as your time frame is three months out, we think it is a time to reflect bullishness in your portfolios. Talk what we are seeing from Corporate America Third Quarter he earnings kiebing into high gear weve got 8 dow components reporting this week, 88 companies entire week with Third Quarter red lights what are your expectations what are you gleaning from this corporate guidance as well . Well, i mean we knew a snapback coming this was unprecedented year an economic blackout, in the Second Quarter. What is encouraging though is when you look at early earnings reports, we see out performances revision coming up Research Team thinks very destructive supportive of the marketplace beating expectations. Maria okay. So are there areas that you believe are showing more growth than others andy . Tell us where you see growth in the world, and the areas where you are recommending investors tap into. Well, we are we are overweight blesh u. S. As i said a few times, i mention housing is coming back very strong, the sector also is coming back very strong, are then again, you know we are seeing right now the power of technology, and the way it is impacting all kinds of businesses, in our own business fm advisors did 100,000 video conferences in the quarter with clients, that is up 7 plus times yearoveryear, our business is like our clientss businesses adjusting using technology, in new exciting ways it is happening much faster than we thought it would. You know, our clients, a great combination right now. They are bullish about businesses, and adjusting businesses for new environment but pretty cautious overall around the market cash level remain high put two factors together that is very supportive for a continued bull market. Maria you know cash levels remain high suggesting that if they see a big selloff they have the wherewithal to get back in, let me ask you about the Digital Economy and how it is really persisted during this covid lockdown. Are those the areas that you really want to be buying into . Are there certain thing i am doing i know on personal level that i probably will continue to do. Once the shutdown is over, right . So are there areas there that you are seeing growth where we should be aware of . Well, i mean i think youve got it exactly right what weve thought of as the the Digital Economy tech players we thought of these as Cyclical Companies but it is clear i mean these technologies we are using through covid now becoming deeply engrained in our Business Models just standard parts of the architecture of our business, so the secular trend as powerful as the strong growth story that weve seens expressed in the marketplace we would be balanced, in your portfolios between value and Growth Stocks growths had a tremendous run wouldnts swing dramatically to value but we think keeping those two aspects of your portfolio in balance is the right positioning. And as we wrap up let me ask you what you see term of the flow. Where do you see investors gravitating to right now . Obviously, the Federal Reserve has told us that Interest Rates are going to stay rockbottom levels until 2024 few furnishes looking for yield other than stock market talk about that, in terms of the flow and what investors are doing right now, from your why clients. Nearterm as i mentioned cash levels at record highs we think that is caution if you are a contrarian that is bullish, in equities our clients have been exposed to this growth story enjoyed the run, they are interested, of course, in equities that are producing some income so looking at high dividend stocks around fixed income given economy stronger than will many anticipated there is more sophisticated gefrz taking risks looking at high yield bonds think credit story pretty strong there is yield out there to add to portfolios. All right. We will leave it there, andy great to see you this morning thank you so much come back soon i will see you soon andy thank you. We want to talk about the on shoring that andy mentioned talking with Peter Navarro about manufacturing when we come right back. Maria welcome back creating jobs about for americans michigan poised to be a critical state in the election, the Trump Administration, showing its all job creation is local approach, to stimulating Economic Growth in michigan, joining me right now assistant to the president for trade and Manufacturing Policy, he Peter Navarro greatest to have you this morning i know you are you are doing a report all week on swing state economies swing states going into election talk about what you have found for michigan one of those swing states. All job creation is indeed local at Trump Administration if you look at michigan really an interesting study in contrast. Between policies of President Trump, and joe biden, you start with the shale formation lower part of lower peninsula 9,000 wells there employ over 50,000 people directly or indirectly that is thriving under President Trump would get shut down, under joe biden. If you do the forgive policy, you got attractiveer city cherry capital of the world we put tariffs being a turkey over 500 because turkey was dumping cheer ies into the market southeast corner has 4,000 employees corporate headquarters, and we were able to put tariffs on washing machines that company is booming, not just in michigan, but across the midwest particularly in pride of ohio, in clyde, defense spending remember during obamabiden account Defense Budget by 16 , go to Sterling Heights outside detroit there is cool General Dynamics plant there makes t the. Psychiatricer vehicle. Maria had President Trump getting usmca guess you what, that is the full employment for autoworkers in detroit aussie in what that usmca does, is lifts the content that is required in north america and then we stick really strong labor environmental provisions on mexico so the jobs gravitate to detroit look at michigan, that is thriving under trump policies. And basically, it if we got rid of fracking got rid of tariffs cut Defense Budget, i mean it would just not be a pretty picture, in the wolverine state. Looking at an october 2020 Unemployment Rate michigan 8. 6 peter. Obviously, a lot worse because of covid19. But china overnight reported pretty good Economic Data 4. 79 expansion Third Quarter gdp reported 3. 3 increase retail sales. Should we look at those numbers as well as the numbers weve seen in u. S. Just in last couple weeks, as evidence, that the recovery has begun . Maria every time i hear that the chinese economy is getting stronger, or that china is invading india or that china has basically quelled protests in hong kong i just wonder about how that virus came to america, because what china seems to be doing now is using the china virus Chinese Communist party virus infected this country with basically to now expand their economy geopolitical reach one of the things we need thinking about next 14 days is the role of china in the world economy, and who would stand up to china. We know who laid down for china now all this news about hunter and redeems all that stuff wonder Mainstream Media wont cover that my gosh, if any stuff is true it is unbelievable see what hands here i dont particularly believe chinese numbers but do i believe they are exploiting this virus it raises questions as to how virus got here, killed over 200 though i americans. You have been working on firing up the manufacturing, base here, bringing american jobs, back from china, back from other countries, so that we could fire things up here, how long does that take peter . Obviously, this cant help overnight right . Do you think that we can get companies to take their supply chains out of china, and put them in places like michigan . Put them in places like, you know, other cities in the United States . Or is it not costeffective . You can do it under President Trump, if we learned anything, from the china virus communist china virus experience here, it is that we are dangerously dependent on china for essentially medicines, n95 masks all manner of thing, of course, we can do it already begun to do it the tariffs President Trump put on china have been very successful. The trade deficit with china peaked 2018 tariffs went on it has been coming down, we are seeing basically manufacturing come back. Nobody wants to invest in china, anymore the whole world knows that that is a risky proposition, but going to be a battle, the trump trade policy and tariff policy will be central to bringing things onshore here.
