10:02 pm
weathering the storm unscathed recent polls have shown his job approval remains steady but that is no longer the case this new survey shows the president's job approval of this is now under water with 45 percent of voters saying they approved of the job the prrsident is doing compared to the president -- those that is a proof but just 49 percent now say the president is not trustworthy that is a massive drop from the 58% in september 2001. a growing number of news organizations out right refusing jerry -- attorney general holders meeting off the record saying those organizations are forfeiting their right to complain about the department of justice the assault on the first amendment and now we turn to our correspondent for the report. >> fox news will not attend the doj meeting of it is off the record according to
10:03 pm
executive vice president of news the same goes for cbs'' max cbs news does not plan to participate in the off the record meeting with attorney general eric holder we would be willing to consider the on the record discussion. also taking a pass is nbc nbc, cnn, "the new york times", the associated press , the huffington post but there have been some takers. abc news will attend the meeting and press for the conversation to be put on the record am "politico" editor says i feel anyone whether an official or ordinary reader should be able to have an unguarded conversation with someone in a position of accountability when there is good reason. the dnc treated media who refuse to meet with the attorney general forfeit their right to gripe from this response that the suggestion news organizations give up their
10:04 pm
right to object by not accepting the invitation is a problem. >> when you have lost to the press especially one that has been so supine and supportive of this administration that has spent over backwards to give them every break, then you are really in trouble which is why we're having this extraordinary attempt to set the record straight with the off the record basis. >> to talk -- the clock is ticking for holder to reply to the extensive set of questions and the house judiciary committee that he may have misled them during his testimony may 15. whether how he answers many on the left in the right think it is time for president obama to ask for his resignation. including ted cruz. >> absolutely. this department of justice has shown this regard to the loss. >> the general counsel at the time decided to publish
10:05 pm
the pentagon papers called for holder to resign as saying he has a precedent that reporters can now be treated as criminals. lori: for more a the multiple white house scandals and the tumbling job approval numbers please welcome a former deputy assistant and fox news contributor for the hill. many organizations including fox news will not attend because it is off the record meeting why isn't he let journalists report to allow transparency that they try to convince us of? >> that is a very good question. perhaps it should be televised if he still wants to make it they would have been open conversation but it is the question obviously asking him how did you let this happen and how would you ever approved of these
10:06 pm
tactics? why did you make the decision? he will spend his way out is more public relations and that it makes perfect sense all the people who are now in all the different news outlets investigating this scandal coming out of the doj from their own investigation, it is hard to go to these meetings and listened to this been to have it be off the record. lori: you think this plant may backfire? what is the likelihood would it be great if one of the organizations that has agreed to participate actually does sleek and report? >> can you imagine? it was an eric holder who came up with this idea was actually the president of united states and said he would be doing this part of the same president who and transparent because it
10:07 pm
was his idea to make off the record conversation with the press. eric holder taking the fifth to the press is basically what he is doing i will speak to you but you cannot have anything attributable to what i am saying in a meeting. that is their job to reports anybody who participates is that too will of eric holder manipulating the press more than he already has. lori: all being fair could anything productive, of this could we get a full-size doing their job? >> do think the attorney general is trying to change a conversation by promising changes to encourage senators gramm and schumer and others about pushing for the media shield law to make a conversation about the changes they will make. it is unclear if those will prevent anything like this in the future but it
10:08 pm
prevents everything like this in the future i should say but we shall but someone who is being investigated for perjury by a congressional committee and someone personally who was involved in naming a journalist as a co-conspirator and having a search warrant be secret do that subject because they wanted a fishing expedition to go on for years. it is still somethings remorsefl about but can he be the captain of all investigations. lori: will you comment if you think how many other journalists phone records having grabbed? how many others? >> i have no idea. i just know in speaking to people in washington they are not as found -- found --
10:09 pm
bond of the mail they would rather talk on the phone. lori: he has already been and longer than most in back he is a drag on the president and he will be as long as used in the spot whether he will be told to resign or do it on his own but the public may have the last say because the president's popularity, the people's belief he is being truthful is tumbling fast for the president needs to get those people around him assuming the white house is now not vulnerable itself to clean house not only at the justice department and other agencies like the irs, the state department and needs to have a fresh breath of there if the president will have any hope to be effective and not being a lame duck sooner than later. lori: let's talk about the irs with the news the former commissioner over 150 visits to the white house? what do you make of that?
10:10 pm
it is curious. who has been to the white house that much? >> i scheduled president 43 i was in charge oo his time and it is not unusual it is incomprehensible to the executive department head would be at three year four times over 118 times specifically during the period we talk about of the targeting of political groups? it s unheard of and i believe it has happened because there is no paper trail they're not using the phone or the e-mail somebody is giving orders and he is doing something with the execution he is not coming to have coffee and the first thing he remembers is the easter aid role? that is hilarious. lori: that is a great point* the irs has named as new chief risk officer by a 76%
10:11 pm
for i prosecutor is a very productive step to clean up the organization? >> it is parker you have to take a professional fund said gao and it is a watchdog group that investigates on behalf of congress and they are professionals and they will come in to do the right thing. it is certainly one step by wouldn't say it precludes the idea of a special outside prosecutor but it is of a good first up because someone has to identify how the system was run and how far the culpability spread justin the cincinnati office or to the top leadership and how something like that could be started to go on for so long. lori: thank you both. brad and amy. another brewing white house scandal senate republicans
10:12 pm
are now calling for an investigation whether health human services secretary sebelius broke any laws are violated ethics rules when she solicited private sector donations for the nonprofit working to enact obamacare. they say it is the appearance of a conflict of interest in summer concerts she is violating a federal law the government employs cannot raise money from groups they regulate. 80 just denies she did anything illegal but that isn't stopping two house committees from investigating the matter as well. >> forget scandals president obama top priority raising campaign cash to return the speakership to nancy policy. the upside-down rally pour economic news sense the market higher. scott black explains the logic next.
10:13 pm
10:14 pm
10:15 pm
10:16 pm
lori: talk about the markets, that is sure a lot of fun lately, especially if you're bullish. stocks finishing modestly higher despite some lackluster economic data, gaing 22 points. the s&p up six, the nasdaq gaining 24 points. volume on the big board, three and half billion shares trading hand. the market gains were limited after gdp was revised slightly lor ted toab% in the first quarter. we also learned weekly's job to -- weekly jobless claims rose. and dending on sales rose three tenths of a percent missing expectations as well. it rising to theighest level in three years. prious matter to the precious metals, gold gaing $20 on the day, people back to gold. closing at 1412er ounce.
10:17 pm
crude ol gaininggas well selling at justnder $94. the bond market, the yield on that ten yea just over 2%. so staying at eleted levels. my nextuest says there are a t oforces working against the economy rht now, but he believes they are -- tre is room for stocks to march higher. joining me now, scott black, president of delphi management. thank you. >> thank you for inviting me. lori: he noted, the stock market is absolutely ripping. the dow is up 17% year today. is this the fed is fuelled event or do you bieve economic fuamentals support the levels of the stock-market? >> i think the corporate earnings support the level. if you use the s&p 500 as a proxy, it is approximately 15 times my estimate, and i am lower than the s&p numbers themselves. the s&p bottom ops at $112.
10:18 pm
they are bac above 10950. we have been a realist -- realistic and about $104 which i used at t round table, about 7% from last year. if you look at hisric norms from the s&p 500 a post-rld war two era, 16 is the median. this is certainly nothe th a bubble of 1999 or 2000. it is fairly priced. thone caveat i should make is that if you lk at the russell 20 for small-cap and 20500 as a madcap, it is fully valued at about 19 times this year's pected earnings. lori: his is the best way to determine valuations and whether or not stocks are overbought or oversold. curious about earnings. they think -- been coming end of the test reporting season is companies to meet estates and guance was okay, butompanies we still -- the top line revenue growth is not a lot of people like to see, 30 robust corporate growth.
10:19 pm
>> you're absolutely right. lori: t ink the market will catch up to that? >> senus a short. that was oy aut one-half percent. the first quarter wws up about seven. if elected the economic data today, corporate profits in the united states the way thenited states government measures it, to get inventory adjustments , we are down billion for the quarter that just ended. i don't think valuations are sky high. what i do think habeen happening is that money has flowed into consumer staples. ny of those companies, procter and gamble, coca-la, pepsi said 18 and 21ultiples wh low single-digit topline growth. way vervalued. most of them have had a big run. there is no topline growth. basilly pa in clips in these business -- businesses and it does not make sense. is t greater foo who is paying these types of multiples.
10:20 pm
lori: does thin that were so kind to so many of us and that we see interest rates rising, telecom utility. it is interesting that the cyclical names, companies that do better in a growing economic environment actually even cheaper than those names you were just talking about. >> but actually, the stor has done veryoorly. it has been a lagrd. we are talking about the power house companies. if you look at companies like cisco, oracle, back out the cash. these companies have a sorts of excess cash, they are still selling at nine, ten, whenhe market multiple, they generate huge amounts of free cash flow. they havetrong franchises and getting absolutely no respect this year whatsoever lori: let's talk a little bit about the fed. what is your take on the stock of tapering ys the minutes were released from last week. we heard from bernanke. interest rates shot right up. economic data.
10:21 pm
it was a little soft. the market took the bad news is good news. how will the market reacts to the next said the event through the balance of the yr? >> the fed is that going to take away the punch bowl. bernanke has said we havto get the regular uneloyment down to six and a half%. we are still ls seven and a half. of course, the economy is barely above stall speedere at to exchange. ims today intsutok downgraded u.s. growth for a full year to just under 2%. is unlikely that the fed will takets foot off the accelerator on quantitative easing. i am not so worried in the short term. lori: once it does, even if it is next zero the following year, the tnk that the markets will have a vault tell reaction? will it be disorderly at best? >> i absutely degree, and if you look at the fed balance sheet, and a look before i came to see today, we had roughly
10:22 pm
$750 billion when the lehman debacle hit. we are now three and a half trillion and counting. renting a lot of money. at some point they will have to withdraw low that -- with strong liquidity, and when they do that i think it will be ferried deleterious for stock markets. you're getting stock markets in euro, the who globe is printing money, whether it is the eurozone, united states, but while they are accommodative and p-e ratios are roughly the norm of 16 times earnings i don't think you have to worry about speculation in the u.s. equit markets. lori: you don't think this is a bubble? what is your target for thend of 2013. >> i am not a technician, but i do think that the market itself probably could, you know, go up another 6-10%. could have a 17, 17 and. i thi that is realistic. lori: thank you. and of course for your time as well. scottlack of delphi. >> thank you. lori: end tonit withome

lori: syrian dictator bashar al-assad making som shocking plan tododay rarding the russian support for his war effort. u.s. officials, however claimed that assad is simy lying. fox these national secuty correspondent jennifer griffin with our support. >> reporter: when asked by the3 hezblah television interviewer whether russians had delivered a controversial arms shipments thathe u.s. has described as a potential game changer, syrian president bashar al-assad hinted th a shipmt of the s300 anti-aircrt missile system was on its way, and parts of it had already arrived. [speakinin nativeongue] >> translator: agreement between us and the russians for a long time. they're committed to the agreement. agre with russia, all will be implemented, and part of it has already been done. >> reporter: u.s. officials say he had been bluffing and they have been watching it shipments closely.
10:36 pm
so f the u.s. and israel agree that the advanced as 300 surfe-to-air missile system wassnot among the many arms that have already been delivered israelhreatened to take military action if the russians completed the missile shipment to syria. the mobile matron far reach of the s300 would make it difficult for the u.s. and its western allies to set up a no-fly zone. chairman of the joint chiefs general martin dempsey explained earlier this mon that the pentagon concerns abou this apon. >> amelie word about is that assad will decide this and see as the system see is so far -- somehow safer and more prone to a mislculation. again,n unfortunate decision. >> reporter: meanwhile assyria deeply divided opposition is calling for help from a town where they are battling assad forces to have reportedly been joined by lebanese hezbollah fighters. there was evidence that iranian byte is were on the ground syria as well. senator john mccain just
10:37 pm
returned to from an unannounced trip to syria in reeent days to meet with rebel forces and continues a press the administration to get involved to remove assad the visit was not witho controversy. lebanese press reported he posed with two non militants allegedly wa for kidnappinguslims, mccain's office put out an explanation tonight. if the individual photographed with senator mccain i in fact, mahomet morris it is regrettable, but it would be ludicrous to suggest that the senator in any way condones the kidnapping of programs or h any communication with those responsible. lori: thank you. setting this up beautifully for our next segment for bashar al-assad in the same interview vowing that any future air strikes from israel will result in serious trekking bachard clming he has warned other countries in the area that syria will ralte if attacd from
10:38 pm
the outside. what ieans forny chance that future stability in the region, i am joined by former u.s. ambasdor to then and fox news contributor john bolton and fox news middle eastern terrorism analyst dr. walid phares. gentlemen, welcome. >> thank you. >> ambassador, with regardo these anti-aircraft missiles from russi to syria, the u.s. believes that is lying. you agree? >> well, i listened very carefully to the translation and that did not hear assad claim that anything had been delived. he said that part of the russian contra had been performed, and that could well be training, training is critical. you can ship the hardware, the missiles, the radar, but unless the syrian army knows how to operate it, it is of o use to them. could be that training has been going on, and that is worrisome lori: so it is not say rattling to say, hey, we have these anti-airaft missiles and if israel comes back again we
10:39 pm
e armed and ready to go, just warning to any outsiders and may get involved. >> i think this is very serious when rusa says, as they have repeatedly, they are going to deliver these systems. it has both political and military consequences in the region and a very far reaching. lori: so bring you into the discussion, with these misles, would it be a game changers' syria timately got their hands on them? >> it wld certainly be in game changer, number one, because of the range and, number two, because of the united states and nato countermeasures that would have to be deployed. that would mean there have to use turkey, jordan, the presee of the sixth fleet in the mediterranean. all of this will be triggered by the fact that the assad regime will have these advanced weapons. as the ambassador said, i heard and read the speech in arabic. he did not say that he received a nymph. he was very vague. he said that these contrac are being implented. the more imptant point here is that assad now accounts and the fact that thrussians will be
10:40 pm
providin an umbrella, meaning his area within syria will b provided with an anti-aircraft syst, radar system, and the most concerning situation would be as was the case before, the russians will see in the teens ofdvisers to man the weapons. lori: but why would russia want to get involved in this way? es not threan its already tenuous relationship with us, the u.s.? >> they have a lot of problems. communicating concerns. they don't toee a post assad regime that would be islamist and in alliance with those were fighting them in the chechnya ar and pakistan. number two they have basis. number three, they are the allies of the iranians. for all these reasons, they're not going to let go of assad thatasily unless they're is a real deal, and that means sharing power beten the opposition and assad. that is not what theyould accept. that is not even what assadd3 would accept. lori: this is just a huge
10:41 pm
necessary. going on for twoears already and it really boils down to this vicious dictator who is murdering his own people for years at this point. we saw john mccain ere in his surprise visit this weeke. what is the best course of action? >> think the most important and for the u.s. perspective is making sure that serious chemical weapons don't get outse the country and fall into the hands oferrorists, it very hard to see wt the concrete u.s. interest that would justify more iolvement in the internal struge really is. there is nothing good you can say about that assad regime, and there isess and less good you can say about the opposition. this is much more than as syrian civil war. this is a struggle between the iranian and the arab states in the persian gulf. and i think the most likely outcome with russia allnd in support of aad, the fight
10:42 pm
will continue for some tim lori: do we have to be concerned abbut isseal? had uc israel fearing terre of this with syria? >> very worried that assad is bad enough on the border, but the regime of terroristsr a state that completely false apart is any better. the focus remains on the principle, the existential threat that they face which is an iranian nuclear power. lori: given your expertise, i'm curious what you think the u.s. role should be in syria and what you think of the president's visit over t weekend and how you think the president has handled the situation. >> the short story is that we missed the boat, washington missed the boat in 2011. we were deployed.3 we had the bac of syria completely under control, jordan in the sth, turkey in the north, the mediterranean. we wasted 2011 not doing much.
10:43 pm
2012 without elections, and now we are in the middle of 2013. the difference is that the iranians, 38, are in communication with syria. as allegis said it is fighting inside syria. so the missi is much more difficult. what we need to dos to identify this syrian opposition, the secular elements and not be shy about it. en he met with some of the leaders, se of them were actually offics. we heard about the presence of others, so that is very telling aso how difficult it is to make a distinction between the military, the ngo, the liberals, and the islamist and moslem brotherhood. lori: complicated. but thank you. ambassador and dr. walid phares. >> thank you. >> thank you. loriup next, attorney general eric holder media iite decline by the majority of the industry. the "a-team" tells us if this is the end of the line for the country's scandal steeped top
