tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  December 17, 2015 4:00pm-5:01pm EST

4:00 pm
this, but students at yale signing a petition to end the first amendment. the guy responsible for the film, avi horowitz. he got it all on camera. melissa: the dow erasing yesterday's gains. [closing bell rings] the bell sounds on wall street. david: wow. trading higher into the market, it 51. looks likes will settle below 250. look at bottom of the screen. we know oil and markets were hammered today. look at gold. talk about getting hammered? gold settling at its lowest level since 2009. melissa: look at that. that is amazing. david: joining me scott martin, united advisors. fox news contributor. scott, what's behind the selloff? >> david, i think it is reality
4:01 pm
of a new fed world which is higher interest rates. i've been saying this for the last few months, this market is okay fundamentally. i agree with some of the things anthony scaramucci said last hour but the problem is, david, this is also a market that fed on the fed. it has been addicted to the low interest rates. it has been addicted to liquidity run we've had. frankly those days are over, my friend. this is new environment and market has to adjust to it. david: but let's talk about the economy. the fed is saying economy is just fine. i'm reading from their report. economic activity continues to expand ad moderate pace. labor markets continue to strengthen. significant improvement in labor markets. are they wrong? >> no, they're just sticking to their plan and boring script, david or say incorrect script they have been reading for three, four years. janet yellen in -- david: if it is incorrect, you are saying they're wrong. do you think they have got the economy wrong? we've seen profits of
4:02 pm
corporations going down as anthony scaramucci said, all the extra gas money is not going into buying things. >> i think yesterday was a poll mistake, david. i don't see pressures on inflation the fed sees. i don't see pent-up demand that will lead to growth. let me put this in terms everybody can understand. what happened yesterday to the consumer is probably the worst thing to happen to them in since paris hilton came out with her recent music single. rates will go up on everything you borrow. auto loans, mortgages, car loans, students lows. oh, by the way, companies you shop at. companies that finance their own growth via debt are leveraged buyouts or mergers, all that cost of capital david, went up, and that is disasterous. david: one final question. these high yield bonds. some funds are going way down. some funds are not returning money to investors. could they be the subprime bonds of 2016? is there a lot of stuff
4:03 pm
leveraged on top of these high yield bonds, if they collapse a lot of other things could collapse too? >> there could be. this is not as pervasive and destruction sieve of 08 scenario. perfect example what the market. high yield bonds which have been decent investments in the past now turning over on investors, that sends people to the exits both in bonds and stocks as they raise cash. david: by the way, dow ended 252 points down today. that is where it settles. scott martin, united advisors. thanks for coming in. melissa. >> thank you, david. melissa: world leaders meeting at united nations this afternoon to seek stricter measures to restrict funding to the islamic state an terrorist organizations. fox news's david lee miller is at the u.n. with the latest. david, what did they get done there? reporter: moments ago, melissa,
4:04 pm
a vote held in the u.n. security council unanimous resolution to try to stop the funding of isis. take a look at the live picture of united nations security council. this meeting was historic and unprecedented for one reason. it was chaired by the u.s. treasury secretary jacob lew. many other countries in attendance because this meeting was about money were represented by various finance ministers. this resolution is signed to stop flow of revenue from oil and gas sales, kidnap for ran some and sale of iraq and antiquities. and sanctions that countries do not honor the resolution. the sanctions include possibility of military force, but that, melissa, i want to underscore is extremely, extremely unlikely. this resolution was cosponsored by the united states and russia. that is significant. the u.s. and russia have had adversarial role when it comes
4:05 pm
to isis and syria in the past. at least in this respect today they put on united front. one thing worth noting isis is arguably the richest terror group in the world, controlling estimated $2 trillion in assets. look now at a laundry list of some of its income cordings to the u.s. department of the treasury. the treasury says that in 2014 bank looting alone accounted for 500 to one billion dollars. but that is one-time only revenue stream. it is not renewable. as for oil and gas, on an annual basis about 500 million a year. extortion, what they call taxes and sale of antiquities, hundreds of millions estimated. kidnapping for ran some, about 20 million. foreign donations come to $5 million every year. lastly, worth noting, melissa, isis has very high operating expenses. it has infrastructure and arms to pay for as well as salaries. the argument here at united
4:06 pm
nations if you can make it difficult if not impossible for isis to do business in the international monetary system you will have dealt them a serious blow. yet to be determined how effective this resolution will be. melissa. melissa: right, a resolution on piece of paper. david lee, i hope it is more than that. thank you for joining us. joining us someone who knows a lot about risk management, the chairman of kroll company who knows how to respond to global risk. dan, thanks for joining me. talk about continuing flow of revenue. david did a great job breaking down where the money is coming from. a large part coming from oil. i want to know about the logistics around that if you want to talk about stopping it. the group sells the crude to truckers and middlemen and they go out and sell it at a discounted price. other than blowing up trucks what can we do about that? >> the answer for that will be military. there is an important point that's really missing. isis does have access to
4:07 pm
millions of dollars, billions of dollars perhaps because of but it's a stateless, borderless terrorist organizations. they steal, gain access to vehicles and equipment. oil is certainly something they have access to. it makes a dent in getting that oil away from them will make a dent to their finances but by no means the answer. melissa: when we talked about iran in the past, and talked about how money was changing hands electronically. there were places along the way where you could freeze assets and stop transactions from happening. we're not talking about the same thing for isis. they're selling oil at cut-rate. a lot of times taking it to oil-starved regimes. they're selling it back to assad out of syria and iraq which is amazing because that is their sworn enemy. a lot of people they sell it to are enemies. they sell it at cut-rate,
4:08 pm
sometimes being hauled by donkey. they have a lot of tankers as well. the person buying it doesn't necessarily know there is isis oil. is there a way to punish the buy so they don't have incentive to buy it? >> it goes through some hands to try to interrupt the flow there. the most effective way is get it at the source and that is going to be militarily. melissa: nothing as far as this u.n. resolution where everybody sat down, said kumbayah we'll do about the flow of money? in your expert opinion is there anything they can achieve without guns and weapons? >> absolutely. they can put pressure on banks who opens bank accounts and how money flows out bank accounts. in a way that is effective america sure if they get cooperation of central banks and individual banks. melissa: we didn't hear that in that resolution. do you have any hope they're thinking about those kind of measures? >> only way it can be effective cutting off the flow of funds. melissa: we'll have to look into that to see if they're doing that thank you for coming on. >> thank you very much. melissa: david?
4:09 pm
>> bankers at the u.n. i would hate to hang it all on that. president obama making another address on national security and fight against isis. take a listen. >> our intelligence and counterterrorism officials do not very specific and creditable information about an attack on the homeland. we're going after terrorists over there where they plot and plan and spew their prop gaped today. as i described at the pentagon, we're hitting isil harder than ever in syria and iraq. we are taking out their leaders. our partners on the ground are fighting to push isil back and isil has been losing territory. david: we will be hearing even more from president obama tomorrow before leaves for his winter break in hawaii. this will be his fourth comment on terrorism. in reaction of fear over terrorism major american theme parks, disney world, seaworld, universal, they're all beefing up security this holiday season. they're installing metal detectors at parks in orlando in
4:10 pm
california. disney is employing a lot more security guards. they have specially trained dogs. they're continuing sale of toy guns and banning anyone over the age of 14 from wearing costumes in the park. i guess that means no light sabers either. melissa: i don't feel any of those measures are new. i understand they put in metal detectors. the fake weapons have orange on end of them. i don't know, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me but anyway. law enforcement source tells fox news that enrique marquez has been arrested and currently in federal custody. marquez who was friends and neighbors with syed farook bought the assault rifles used in the deadly san bernardino shooting. joining us with the latest from san bernardino is fox news's adam housley. adam? reporter: melissa, it has been quite a last 24 hours for people associated with the case especially those investigating it. i'm told 15 minutes ago that
4:11 pm
marquez was not officially arrested yet. but it would happen today. there was thought it would be happen today. they were planning today but doj got involved and blew up the entire plan to so to speak. there is no more press conference. a press release at 4:00 local time that will explain what happened. the report half an hour ago came out reported by everybody but us that the arrest had been made. we're finding out officially it is not. there were maybe semantics involved here. he won't face a judge until this afternoon. that will be in the federal courthouse in riverside, california. that is fifteen minutes or so from san bernardino. then there is national press release from the doj to give outline what happens. he won't probably appear in court until sometime third week in january. this is all fluid. this continues to change. the important point marquez will be arrest. most likely include charges of complicit to terrorism, something along those lines.
4:12 pm
we know, at least authorities believe he bought the two long rifles and gave them to two terrorists knowingly they were going to be used for at an tack. he may have helped plan an attack in 2012 that didn't happen. there is a lot of different possibilities here. we expect a lot of charges when it comes out. there has been quite a 24 hours. it shows this, melissa, there is significant disconnect and lack of communication between doj at national level and other federal agencies at regional level especially. there is insinuation politics is involved here. i'm not saying this is the case, they do say remember, the local fbi and fbi nationally were first ones to say this was terrorism, not the president. so there may be some issues there. that all probably will play out as we get through this case but obviously a very, very frustrating situation for a lot of people involved in this case in the last 24 hours, melissa. melissa: i know. i have heard reports going back and forth and probably some of it does depend on information he is getting them but maybe
4:13 pm
territorial problems as you mentioned. can i ask you, we look the bizarre picture he is wearing a bicycle helmet and crying. >> right. melissa: where does this picture come from and why does he look like that, do you know? reporter: i have to be honest with you. i don't know. i think it came from a friend or facebook profile picture one point. melissa: wow. reporter: interesting thing, there are not a lot of photos to the guy at least released to press. he is quirky individual i can tell you. people part of the investigation say he is definitely different. they used other adjectives i won't use. at this point, doesn't matter who he is, how he is is, what he is like, he is clearly in their mind. melissa: that is why i ask. i heard reports he is unusual and made me think of the picture around we haven't had explanation why it is such a weird picture. if it's a facebook picture that would be more bizarre because who would use that as your facebook picture.
4:14 pm
reporter: looks like jerry lewis character from the '50s and '60s. melissa: adam, thanks for being on top of the story. we appreciate your reporting. reporter: no problem. david: russian president vladmir putin is weighing in on the 2016 presidential race. he is speaking in glowing terms about donald trump. we'll tell you why. melissa: students at yale university signing a petition to end the first amendment, seriously? filmmaker avi horowitz got it all on camera. david: and the force is strong with some fans but how will that help their bladders? a key concern. you laugh, melissa. it's a concern of the man behind a "star wars" movie their mon looking to break a world record underway now, marathon. ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom?

4:18 pm
>> first amendment protects some of our liberties hard to imagine colleges and universities would survive without it. it was shocking students at one of those university were happy to sign a petition to end it. filmmaker avi horowitz asking students at yale university if they would support doing away with the first amendment. here's what they said. >> we're calling for repeal of the first amendment. >> i think this is fantastic. >> okay. thank you. >> excellent. love it. >> thank you. >> i will sign it for you. >> appreciate it. >> i appreciate what you're trying to do. david: unbelievable. yale university. ami horowitz, filmmaker jones me. what is the backstory? i imagine universities talking about bad about the first amendment. saying it is more important to have safe spaces than freedom of speech, right? >> that is exactly right. it just was so frustrating for me to watch all these free speech cos and rallies against free speech all across campus.
4:19 pm
i decided to go to yale, if you remember the hysterical girl who was yelling at her professor saying this is not a place for intellectual debate. this is a place for a home. i mean, what? get over yourself. i got to go to yale. david: there was also the case of that media teacher in, in mizzou i think it was, missouri who was coming out saying we need to strong-arm this reporter to get him out of here. she was supposed to be teaching them about the first amendment and she was trampling on it. just extraordinary what is going on here. tell us how you approached these students? some people can lead people on in a certain way. did you say, you know, specifically did they know what they were signing, this was to eliminate the first amendment? >> it was written on the document. i mean, could not have been any clear we want to repeal and get rid of the first amendment. then if you want to create something which has safe spaces, and outlaws -- i said i want to outlaw hurts other people's
4:20 pm
feelings. i want to outlaw microaggression. i could not have been clearer what the ramifications were what we were doing here. these lemmings just said hey, i'm all about that. david: do they know, besides freedom of speech, the first amendment talks about religion, talks about right of the people to peacefully assemble? which is what they're doing? talks about petitioning government for redress? do they actually know what is in the first amendment. did the petition say what they would be losing by signing it? >> so, well, first of all, you know what, maybe i made mistake making assumption that a yale student would know what is in the first amendment. but i will say one girl was very thoughtful, she said to me, i don't know exactly what is in it. pulled it up on the phone. read everything you just mentioned, don't forget freedom of the press is in there also. she read it, thought to herself, this doesn't resonate with me and she signed petition. david: unbelievable.
4:21 pm
>> it was precious moment. precious moment. david: professors or anybody from yale university gotten back to comment on this? have you tried to get comments on them? >> not me but fox news has. the, yale essentially kind of blew it off and, another professor they contacted, it was emblematic of all situation. the professor said, yeah, what showed was a horrible thing but let's not forget it is less horrible than the republican party. he said it was less horrible, yes. yes. and less horrible than obama bombing isis. that was the comparison he made. david: holy cow. >> he connected those two things together with my video. david: kind of scary. all for $65,000 a year. i wonder how parent paying for this think about that. ami horowitz, you do great work. thanks for coming in. >> always a pleasure, david. melissa: liz macdonald joins us with breaking details. >> mr. martin skelly is pleading

how else do you think he gets around so fast? take the reins this holiday and get the mercedes-benz you've always wanted during the winter event. hurry, offers end january 4th! david: four more schools threatened in miami, fort lauderdale, houston and dallas, very similar to ones received by new york and l.a. schools earlier this week but former new york city mayor rudy giuliani doesn't believe it was a total hoax. take a listen. >> i have a suspicion this was a probe. i don't think this is a total hoax. i think, i think this was a kind of a probe to figure out how we're going to react, not an absolute hoax. david: joining me now, peter
4:33 pm
brookes, heritage foundation senior fellow and former deputy assistant secretary of defense and bo dietl former nypd detective. peter, are these probes or hoaxes? >> we don't know, david, that's the problem. we have to keep our vigilance up. we can't be complacent about the threat even though it disrupts our daily lives considering what we've seen in the last few months and the threat that emanates from isis. very important obviously for investigations to move forward as quickly and quality way as possible because we need to know whether these are a hoax or probes. very important for us to understand or not. david: bo, if it's a probe, there is a question how much we give away when we react to it the way the l.a. school system did the other day. they went whole hog for it. folks here in new york, police commissioner and everybody said, hey, they went too far. what do you think? >> i think the one that makes the decision on that should be someone from law enforcement or security. with all respect to the person that heads up the school board over there, that is one thing.
4:34 pm
that should have been passed along to the joint terrorist task force, law enforcement, immediately when that email came in. because the decision has to be made from someone who understands about security and all that. and for them to, from the school board it is not good. but we do know that everybody's on edge. what happened in california, with all the people being killed. so it is understandable. but, for the future there has to be protocols that are put into place. who will you call immediately when you get into email? bring in assistance for law enforcement. david: one would think place like l.a. would already have protocols. but, peter, i'm wondering what is wrong with overreacting? >> well, i mean i'm not sure there is in the situation we're living in right now because the threat seems to be so high. you know, i think people obviously don't want to disrupt their lives. think about unone of the largest school systems in the country having to react.
4:35 pm
going to work with safety of children beyond a terrorist threat. we have to be vigilant. complacency is killer. if we're complacent about this threat we'll pay a very bad price. there will be false starts. people will be well-intentioned but something we have to live with -- david: i can't imagine anybody being complacent about it but, bo, i think new york after 9/11 nobody has done better job preventing terror attacks, folks here, police, combined forces of all law enforcement and very often they play it close to the vest and don't come out and openly talked about it until they wrapped it up, right? >> problem we have here, i was down there on 9/11, i will never forget, i was down there after the towers came down and stayed there a couple days, the fact of the matter terrorist in california was born in america. we don't know about these lone wolves. we don't know what is going on. this is a war what is going on this is war with isis. we have timely meant best
4:36 pm
security features we can. i'm a big advocate using law enforcement people in schools, armed, law enforcement people who are retired. we have to combat guns with guns. i'm sorry all the advocates for guns, i'm a person, when a person has a automatic weapon, and he is shooting up, getting body count you have to have someone to deal with him. only person to deal with him is someone who is trained and who is armed. david: everybody's probing everybody else. their side is probing us, we're protecting then. thank you both. >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays. melissa: hillary clinton isn't the only one with emails problems. defense secretary ash carter admitting he used his personal email account for government business. james rosen, fox news chief washington correspondent is live in d.c. with the details. james? reporter: good around. the defense secretary act knowledged he made a mistake continuing to use personal email for pentagon business when he quote had been warned by lots of people about this kind of thing and persisted in doing so for

two months after hillary clinton's use of the practice was exposed. >> there were plenty of people during the time that you're taking office and so forth who explain to you what the rules are about emails. so this is, it is not like i didn't have the opportunity to understand what the right thing to do is. i didn't do the right thing. this is entirely on me. reporter: republican congressman mac thornberry of california, chair of the house armed services committee is urging carter to ask the pentagon inspector general confirm carter's assertion that the private address carried no classified information. senate armed services chair, john mccain, republican of arizona is vowing to investigate the matter and demanding access to emails in question. mccain said it is hard to believe that secretary carter would exercise the same error in judgment as clinton after so much attention was focused on
4:38 pm
clinton who exclusively used email on private server as secretary of state. clinton's handling of classified data is ongoing subject of fbi probe. fox news learned a review by intelligence community, contrary to clinton's affirmations at least two of her emails were classified top secret when they arrived on clinton's server. melissa: thank you, james. david: belgium may have let one of the terrorists through their fingers because of red tape. the terrorist, salah abdeslam due to a legal band which didn't allow police to conduct raids at night. go figure. flights from the u.s. to cuba are close to reality. reaching a preliminary agreement to resume comb merges flights. it comes the day before the first year anniversary of the deal to normalize relations.

iowa, south carolina or new hampshire or else it doesn't really matter. i think if you look at the last debate, when it came to this discussion of russia's role in the world. you know donald trump was more accommodating. he said we're not getting into a war with russia. he said, you know, you know, them intervening in some middle eastern countries isn't such a bad thing. i think putin is paying attention to that he probably feels like, hey, i can deal with this guy. two guys want to make a deal. melissa: michael, i think that's the point. he is saying he is more likely to make a deal or work with donald trump as opposed to putin on obama back in september 27th of 2015. they kept pressing him, another reporter asking him, what do you think of president obama? what is your valuation? he said i don't think i'm entitled to give any reviews of the president. that is up to the american people. he totally deem murdered. this way he -- demured. is he wanting to work with him
