4:00 pm
is dead, it's that these stores are crappy. i don't even think malls are. but you've got to sell online. i mean come on. ashley: the quote of the day. lee munson, thank you so much. we can hear the closing bells ringing on wall street. all happy. i don't know why. because it's friday. that's why. maybe that's it. david: stocks getting hammered saying they've had enough with this. the stocks closing down today 185 points. i'm david asmand. mellisa: and i'm melissa francis here's what else is happening this hour. more republican congressman seem to be falling in line behind donald trump. his team wrapping up its first meeting on capitol hill to a packed house but some conservatives claim their on going feud and are calling on off -- calling -- this a sham. meanwhile, bill clinton's foundation is coming under fire for reportedly giving millions of dollars to a
4:01 pm
company owned by one of his friends. and if you're heading to the airport today, tomorrow, on or any time soon, you better pack your patients and plan to get there early. why those long lines may have you waiting for hours. and what if anything is being done about it? david: we have an answer to that. but back to the selloff on wall street is investors being spooked on this friday the 13th. the dow hitting a one-month low today. you are looking at a sea of red in the dow. 30 -- with just four companies in the green, intel, pfizer, and travelers. and apple trying desperately to make a comeback. adam shapiro has more on what's moving the markets from the floor of the new york stock exchange. hi, adam. >> hey, david, going into the close, we were what? 705% to sell. so there were some market movers who wanted to get out as we headed into the weekend. and one thing that as you speak to the traders, talking about the sell i just don't of on the dow was the fact that they're getting ready for that june believe it or not federal reserve meeting. that's the retail sales number we got today.
4:02 pm
the 1.3% increase for aprilmide bode well for an argument. believe it or not to raise interest rates despite retailers. so the dow -- when you take a look at where the dow is, still positive for the year, the s&p 500 slipped into negativeter for her for the year briefly but it will close today barrel positive. nasdaq is down for the year, roughly 5%. and then you take a look at a stock, talking about apple trying to get its second act together. apple closed up today after a couple of days being down. but still not good enough. and with the last show with ashley webster, you heard one commentator saying, look, apple has to innovate. they can't keep going back that buying back stock. lou: going to do it. but the bottom line is that retail sales figure spooked investors because they think it will get the fed believe it or not the to raise rates in june. david: yeah, who knows. mellisa: to the race to the white house, donald trump is
4:03 pm
racking up more support on capitol hill. he's dodging questions on his tax rate. fox news john roberts is here with the latest on the campaign trail. john, so do you think this tax thing is going to be a problem for him. >> melissa, good afternoon to you. donald trump is one of the only people who can stay home and still make news. it could potentially be some problem for him. and the reason for that is he's really getting it on two fronts. he's got the democrats on the one side saying what is he hiding? and then he's got mitt romney who is still banging the drum. it could be a blockbuster in those tax returns. but donald trump insisted again today he's not going to release his tax returns as long as the federal audit continues to go on. that he may be able to get them out by november but he's not so sure. he also says there's nothing to find out in there. of course i don't have to tell a business channel audience there's plenty to find in a person's tax return. and donald trump bristled this morning, he was doing a round of interviews when he was pushed on this idea of his tax return and tax rate.
4:04 pm
listen to this. >> frankly our country doesn't know what they're doing with our money or tax money and that's part of the problem. so i fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. >> what is your tax rate? >> it's none of your business. you'll see it when i release. but i fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. >> tax rate none of your business. you'll find out when i release my tax returns. certainly hillary clinton is really beating the drum saying he has something to hide. she doesn't have the moral high ground particularly over the issue with those speeches she gave to the investment banks and not releasing the transcripts. but what she does have on her side is that she and bill clinton have released 33 years of their own tax returns. mellisa: i have never heard a better answer to that question. none of your damn business. i embrace that sentiment. anyway all right. what is the fallout from yesterday, john? >> absolutely legal, boy.
4:05 pm
not legal to evade taxes. the fallout from yesterday is more people seem to be coming on board the trump train. the casino magnet out of las vegas the latest person to donald trump r jump onboard saying might not like everything trump says but you need someone with his experience to run the country. and the weekly meetings on capitol hill where they try to bring more people in the door, they now have 68 people who are onboard. chris collins, the first member of congress, he's a republican from new york, by the way. to sign up with donald trump. says things are looking very good. they're still waiting for paul ryan. here's chris collins. >> we are all coming together. we've always said -- most of the members have said we're going to support the republican nominee for president. it will be mr. trump. and today the room was overflowing. >> now, ryan said he's going to take his time here. chris collins said sooner rather than later.
4:06 pm
but it seems that ryan doesn't even want to talk about this. yesterday i was in statue aware hall, he came by to do an interview with one of the cable networks, i think it was hbo. they were talking about the up coming race for the senate in wisconsin and republican policy in general. and then the interviewer turned the topic to donald trump to which paul ryan responded we agreed not to talk about that. i've got people to see. goodbye. mellisa: wow. i still like i pay as little as possible and it's none of your business. i'm going to make a t-shirt. do you want one? >> what do you put on the front? what do you put on the back? mellisa: yeah, i don't know. i may put it in both places i like it so much. david: that sounds like a good idea. don't be a stranger, john, we love to have him on. meanwhile more trouble for hillar hillary clinton's campaign. clinton global initiative set up a $2 million commitment for for a company owned by bill clinton's friend back in 2010. fox business peter barns is in dc with the details.
4:07 pm
lay it out, peter, because this isn't one that's easy to understand. but it certainly seems -- a little something missing from the clinton's claims here. >> yeah. i've got -- deep dive into this, david. so this is obviously a new controversy for the clinton foundation and the clinton campaign over who the foundation was working with while hillary clinton was secretary of state, including companies. that had business with the government back then. the journal reports that that possibly in violation of irs rules that clinton global initiative helped arrange $2 million in financial commitments for a for profit nevada nebraska startup company energy pioneer resolutions. it is partly owned about i a clinton friend, some investors in the company were other clinton friends and contacts. and the company received an $812,000 grant from the department of energy in 2010 when hillary clinton was still in government. a statement the foundation did
4:08 pm
not deny its involvement with energy pioneer but said it did nothing improper or illegal. it itself gave no money to energy pioneer. and the global initiative is to connect people in organizations to each other and sometimes investors to promising startups and climate change and other areas. and that some of those people may have been friends of the clintons. now, the statement says quote dozens of cgi commitments involve for profit companies addressing climate change by helping reduce dependency on fossils fuels. lost money and wound down most of its operations, no comment yet from the clinton campaign. the energy department told us in a statement that it awarded that 800,000 grant based on a competitive selection process. dave. david: so it sounds like the clinton foundation is the middle man for crony capitalists. that's exactly -- this is a private public sector
4:09 pm
initiative. they put things together. it's crony -- it's the definition of crony capitalism. sounds like it, peter. >> all yours, dave. [laughter] david: you decide. all right. thank you very much. mellisa: of course not. weigh in on this because peter clearly doesn't want to is governor mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas, the former presidential candidate. let me boil it down to people what peter just said. he doesn't want to put labels on it. what we're talking about here, it's a way of funneling money. both government money and money that is meant to be given to a charity to friends of the clintons. and in this case, they're saying, oh, it was a company that was going to do good. no, it's a company that went out of business, that took this money, was supposed to be for profit and then folded. this is pretty bad. >> it is pretty bad. we're asking america would you like to have hillary run the country country? because it seems like when the clintons get their hands on something and free enterprise,
4:10 pm
it collapses. i mean the business dealings here make el chapo look like titans of wall street. good gosh. this is a long-standing problem, though, where the clintons are involved in with money. whether it's the $100 million that the clinton global initiative got from middle eastern shakes. mellisa: right? >> whether it's the crony capitalism or let's call it now crony charity charitable capitalism. mellisa: it's like a slush fund. there's a disaster and this has always been the criticism. and this is the physical mathematic evidence of it. there's always been a criticism, there's a disaster somewhere the clintons sweep in, and they provide all the access. they get money from people who are trying to, you know, help whatever the disaster is. money from the government. and then they funnel it to their friends. and along the way everyone gets a taste -- and this is exactly what the american public is sick of. and knows is going on.
4:11 pm
>> well, it reminds me of the scene in godfather two where the don says he just wants to dip his beak. well, the clintons have been dipping their beaks in a lot of things for many years. mellisa: yeah. >> and i don't think it bodes well for hillary's presidential ambitions. because if reporters are finding out stuff, do you think that the republicans are going to sit by and ignore it? not on your life. mellisa: and it's another one of those things where you look at it and you say is there something illegal about this? and you have to drill down into what's going on. but it also ties into the server and the e-mail question. because when people say why do you care so much about the e-mails, you ask, well, why were they doing business on a private server? because there was all of this traffic going back and forth about the cross over between government and the foundation and the money, and they didn't want it sitting on a public server. i mean do you feel that's a fair criticism? >> it's a very fair criticism. melissa, let's look at it this way.
4:12 pm
when you keep your server in a bathroom, it's because you want to be able to flush down the toilet a lot of secrets that you hope nobody ever finds out. mellisa: that's -- very true. very true. now, let me ask you about this one. so donald trump slamming the washington post owner jeff listen. >> this was a toy owned by jeff bazos who controls amazon. amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise. using the washington post for power so that the politicians in washington don't tax amazon like they should be taxed. he thinks i would go after him for antitrust. because he's got a huge antitrust problem because he's controlling so much. ashley: actually thin. mellisa: i actually think this one ais a bridge too far. i'm not sure i follow the causality there. what do you think, governor huckabee? >> well, there's three magic words in politics. you can always count on these to be true. follow the money. find out if amazon ends up
4:13 pm
getting some special tax breaks, look where the boat came and find out if the washington post in any way gave very positive treatment to keep people involved in in that decision process. if it did, then there might be some fire where the smoke is. if there is no connection, then okay. donald trump was wrong. mellisa: okay. >> but follow the money. three magic words. never forget them. mellisa: it fair enough. governor huckabee, thank you very much. david: when huckabee talks about the clintons, i listen. there's a man that really knows the clintons. meanwhile facebook owner mark zuckerberg speaks out after news of its users. bill o'reilly says another example of the internet hiding conservative thought. >> i've been saying this on yahoo and other deliverers, you can't find conservative opinion on them. >> oh, you're crazy, it's an aggregate, it's this, it's that, baloney. i think that whole internet is stacked against any kind of
4:14 pm
traditional conservative thought. david: now, zuckerberg says he's going to meet with leading conservatives over the next couple of weeks. no sign of exactly who that is. but we'll let you know as soon as we find out. melissa. mellisa: shocking new details from annual released documents in the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. what she told one of her top aides. that could be a bombshell in the case against her. david: story that keeps on giving. and the republican presumptive nominee donald trump is going to soon be entitled to regularne nation's most sensitive intel secrets. just how much information is he going to get? and what will he do with it? mellisa: and trump seems to have at least started to bridge the gap with the republican establishment. critics say looks can be deceiving. >> this is a sham marriage and the reason is simple. every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked
4:15 pm
and intellectual property being stolen. that is cyber-crime. and it affects each and every one of us. microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cyber-crime. we use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals. when it comes to the cloud, trust and security are paramount. we're building what we learn back into the cloud to make people and organizations safer.
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
e.t. phone home. when you find something you love, you can never get enough of it. change the way you experience tv with xfinity x1. shoah, ha ha.ew artist. show me top male artist. my whole belieber fan group. it's not a competition, but if it was i won. xfinity x1 lets you access the greatest library of billboard music awards moments, simply by using your voice. the billboard music awards, live sunday may 22nd, 8/5 pacific, only on abc.
4:18 pm
david: and yet more developments in the hillary clinton e-mail scam, annual released e-mails by the federal court indicating clinton dodged constrict security procedures and was provided with a number of devices but failed to use them. if you have them, don't use them, doesn't do any good. fox business catherine herridge joins us now. hey, katherine. >> the e-mails from february 2009 suggest then secretary of state hillary clinton skirted procedures instructing her aides to call on a unsecure phone line when a secure blocked the conversation. her then chief of staff cheryl mills and read in part i give up. call me on my home phone number, clinton told mills after more than an hour of trying to connect by a secure line. told mills i just spoke to the regulation center and called your regular line. we have to wait until we see each other because the technology is not working.
4:19 pm
not clear whether the two women ever spoke. but critics charge today that it's similar to an example in 2011 where clinton instructed her senior aide jake sullivan to strip the headers off of secure documents and send it to a nonsecure channel rather than by secure fax. the new e-mails are also from february of 2009 and that date is important because they are using the clinton e-mail.com address, an earlier statement that she did not again to use the personal server for personal business until a month later. further suggesting that not all of the documents had been turned over. in the meantime member of the house intelligence committee told fox news this week that security apparently seemed secondary to mrs. clinton to convenience and there's no debate over the 22 top secret e-mails that are too damaging to national security to release. >> these are classified top secret appropriately that is america's highest
4:20 pm
classification of information. and they contain data that everyone would be able to see very quickly should not be out in a place outside of the proper handling of that kind of information. >> those 22 top secret e-mails are important for some context because based on our reporting here at fox news, we believe that that is really the central focus of the fbi into whether classified material was taken outside of secure government channels. mrs. clinton and her team have not responded to the e-mails that had been released in the last 24 hours. but they have said consistently in the past that they were always respectful of classified information and that nothing that was transmitted on that server was marked classified at the time that it was sent or received. david. david: hard to imagine being respectful of material when it's on a private server. but that's another issue. kathryn, great reporting. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. david: melissa. mellisa: apple looking to take on uber with a 1 billion-dollar investment in a chinese ride sharing rival.
4:21 pm
apple ceo tim cook says apple is making the investment for a number of strategic reasons including a chance to learn more about certain segments of the chinese market. all of those ahead of tim cook's scheduled trip to china in a couple of weeks. the country is apple's second largest market after the u.s., and it accounts for about $59 billion in annual sales. david: all right. how a genetically modified mosquito could actually be the answer to the deadly zika outbreak. plus the tsa under fire for those long lines and they're getting longer, folks, at the airport. the growing cause to actually abolish the tsa all together. >> recent events across the world confirm the continued need or vigilance when it comes to aviation security.
4:22 pm

4:24 pm
>> loaning lines and airports
4:25 pm
are about to get even longer. the tsa warning travelers that routine security screenings could leave passengers waiting for hours as the agency struggles to cope with increased demand. that sounds so fun. jeff flock joins us from midway airport in chicago where i'm sure everyone is relaxed and happy and the lines are flowing quickly. is that what's happening there, jeff? >> compared to last night, this is a bargain out here in midway today. this is where you check in at midway airport. a lot of people don't know midway because it had come to chicago through o'hare. but i tell you last night this was the scene of what was dubbed the world's longest security line. on youtube if you look it up. huge lines earlier today out here. because there aren't enough tsa employees and jay johnson, the head of the -- i should say the head of homeland security say they're going to hire more people at tsa, give them more overtime, they're going to try to push that tsa precheck program.
4:26 pm
but he says don't worry. it's not a crisis. listen. >> waiting three hours for what may be a two-hour flight or a 90-minute flight is not acceptable. we will not compromise aviation security in the face of characteristicizations of this as a national crisis. >> well, he says it's ain't crisis, but a lot of people out here think it might be. last night this line, by the way, melissa, you see this line out here, that's where it starts. if larry spins around this way, this line went all the way down here, through that door, around another long hallway, making a right, all the way to the ca trains. if you've ever been here, you know how long that is. longest line i've ever seen in chicago in 35 years of covering aviation in chicago. mellisa: i mean horrible. it is a crisis. i mean that's the perfect thing to call it. it is a crisis. if you've flown lately and been stuck in one of those
4:27 pm
lines and you almost miss your flight or do miss your life, it's crazy. thank you, jeff. you're a brave man. thank you for doing that. david: and if you haven't seen it, look it up on youtube. it's an amazing youtube. the tsa's electronic list of troubles leading to privatize securities and getting away with tsa all together. editor in chief. so inefficiency in a government bureaucracy i'm shocked. >> yeah. who would have thought? we had these conversations after 9/11. david: right? >> this was a conscious choice. we had to up security so how do you up security? how did the rest of the world mostly do it? they said okay. government sets guidelines, airports execute the guidelines. you don't have to create a bureaucracy with as many employees as google. david: their excuse it, and we heard this from mr. johnson, hey, i know it's tough to wait in line but better to be safe than sorry. we would be endangering security. but look what happened last year when the tsa did a series
4:28 pm
of tests. they had under cover agents that went in with these fake weapons and 67 out of 70 times the agents failed to discover the false weapons. it's a 95% failure rate. >> and that's not an on anomaly. they've done a series of tests like that and usually 90 or 95% over the last ten years. he's wrong. a line is not a thing that makes us safer. a line makes you a sitting duck. a lot of these lines sit outside and go outside of the airport. is that safe? no. >> we saw the bombing in europe at an airport while people. were waiting in lines. now, there is a way that you can opt out of the tsa. the screening partnership program. the tsa put it together, about 21 airports in the united states actually had private. they contracted out to a private security agency. but the bureaucracy of opting out is so complex and expensive, a lot of airports don't do it.
4:29 pm
>> yeah. if it were at all easy, there would be a hell of a lot more than 21. do you think an airport would want that mess? you couldn't find the lines to the airports, people couldn't tell you where the security line began it took so long. david: we've got to find a way of grieving the wheels to opt out. >> it's not grieving the wheels. just blow it up. we don't need a tsa. david: maybe a bad choice of words. but anyway. >> donald trump has taught us, you have to speak differently to get through to people. no, we don't need tsa. we need rules and those rules can be executed by the people who are trying to actually enforce it who are motivated to make sure there aren't huge lines. david: matt welsh, i'm so glad you're passionate about it. because when you see that youtube of that guy going back -- it took two hours. a lot of people miss their flights. >> of course and that by itself is incredibly damaging to the economy and personal happiness. david: matt welch, if you like his news, read the magazine. melissa.
4:30 pm
mellisa: the republican party pledging to come together. but is it for real? critics calling the trump ryan truth a sham marriage. you decide. david: also reporters not backing down from a bet. wait until you see what he does with his own column that was wrong. >> wins the republican nomination, i will eat the page on which this column was written. equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like grandkids equals free tech support. oh, look at you, so great to see you! none of this works. come on in. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, :

[so i use quickbooks and run mye entire business from the cloud. i keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. even down here in the dark i can still see we're having a great month. and celebrate accordingly. i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it. ) i'm definitely able to see savings through using the car buying on usaa. i mean, amazing savings. i was like, wow. if i can save this much, then i could actually maybe upgrade a little bit.

4:34 pm
down for a third straight week, the longest losing streak in four months. the nasdaq ending in the red for the fourth week in a row, yikes! ends longest losing streak in a year and a half. david: donald trump and speaker paul ryan's meeting yesterday was the first to unify the fractured party, some think the union between trump and ryan is just a facade. >> this is a sham marriage, and the reason is simple, goodwill on both sides but paul ryan is a conservative, has been all his life, and committed to certain conservative principles, trump has made it clear he's not a conservative, he's a nationalist populist. david: talking about mitt romney there? ford o'connell is former john mccain campaign director and capri kafaro former democratic state senator from ohio. ford, do you think it's a sham marriage? >> i'm not one to correct the great dr. kraut hammer.
4:35 pm
sham marriage is way too harsh a term, to win the white house and both chambers of congress. trump needs 92, 39% of registered voters to vote for him and paul ryan is sick and tired of playing defense, he can't get anything done in washington if hillary clinton is in the white house. >> capri, you're a democrat, back in 1987, a democratic president bill clinton made all the deals with republicans including welfare reform in 1998, dramatically lowered the capital gains rate. people said that led to a burst of activity in the stock market. this is right before they impeached that president. >> you mean monica? david: yes! you can dislike somebody, prosecute them and work with them as clinton showed us. >> that's the only way to get things done, in my small level in the ohio senate, the only
4:36 pm
way you can achieve policy development is by working with people that you don't necessarily always agree with. i actually echo ford's sentiment, a sham marriage is a little much. i think it's like couple's counseling, standing there for the kids and because they really do -- they really do need to make sure that there is unity there. david: family values to compare politics to family at any rate. sham marriage sounds a little -- ford, let's talk specifics. trump says now that he's not going to change the tax plan that he came out with a few weeks ago, which essentially lowers all the rates tremendously. now nobody in congress cares more about tax reform than paul ryan. paul ryan was weekend at the feet of jack kemp, the biggest tax cutter in my lifetime in congress, he loves tax reform. isn't that a specific deal maker for the two guys? >> absolutely. paul ryan and donald trump agree on two things, tax reform and economic growth, they can
4:37 pm
do great things together. they may not see eye-to-eye. here's what i think the ideological politicians miss, the job of the republican party is to beat the democratic party like the job of mcdonald's is to beat burger king. within mcdonald's they shouldn't be arguing about the mcrib versus the chicken sandwich. >> i love your business analogies much better than the family. capri, i would be remiss to not ask about the democratic politics. the latest in the feud between bernie and hillary. >> lord knows. no one should be surprised that bernie sanders beat hillary clinton in west virginia given her comments regarding coal and obviously being that the bread and butter down there in the mountaineer state. so i think that we're going to continue to see this all the way -- david: right up to the convention. >> to the bitter end all the way to philly. >> to capri's point, unity could be tough if bernie is
4:38 pm
racking up the victories, he's going to win the next six contests. >> have a great weekend, melissa? melissa: intelligence secrets for donald trump, the presumptive gop nominee is in line to receive classified briefings once he is formally chosen as the nominee, but can the off-the-cuff trump keep a secret? senator evan bayh sat on the intelligence committee, he joins me now, we were excited to get you on this topic because everybody is debating this and don't know necessarily what he's going to be seeing but you do. how do you feel about it, and how much information does he get? >> well, melissa, that's going to be the subject of some negotiation, they're going to brief him. my guess is they'll keep it at a high general level in terms of their assessments about what's the situation with isis and syria? what's going on in china today? what about iran? that kind of thing, and not get so specific that even if
4:39 pm
mr. trump has a slip of the lip somewhere that it would reveal sources and methods and compromise people. that's my guess as to how they'll deal with it. the greater risk is for him rather than the national security, because for the decade i was on the senate intelligence committee, we were told a lot of things, it's a violation of the law if you talk about them publicly, you have to be thinking in your mind, okay, i was told this, i can talk only about generalities, refer to published reports, and so, does he have that kind of internal governor that will keep him from inadvertently blurting something out, he's going to need to learn to control that. melissa: wow. that's an interesting point of view, we haven't heard anyone say that, that is probably the thing, it seems like he struggles with most is holding his tongue. what kind of information would it be he would be given that he couldn't repeat? >> that's why i think they'll keep it at a very general level. if i'm told something that is
4:40 pm
top secret about what's going on in china and you break a story about the same subject, i'm not allowed to verify that story. i can't come out and say yes, it's true, but what i can say publicly is i can't comment about that, but let me talk about the fox business story about china, they're a reliable network and tell you what they reported, you have to be careful and nuanced about how you go about it and he's not famous for having that filter, but he'll need to get one, but to both protect our nation's security and make sure he can protect himself, my guess is they'll try and keep it as general as possible. melissa: can you think of problems that have arisen in the past with situations like this? you think about it, there's been a lot of candidates along the way that have been briefed and weren't elected and walking around with the information. >> well, leaks do occur. in this case, it wouldn't be a leak, it would be an accident of him blurting something out. i remember getting briefed with

senators only on a top secret effort within iran dealing with the nuclear program, it was so secret they told us lives might be at risk if this was mentioned. i drove home that evening, stopped at the local drugstore, got in my car, had the radio news station on and there was a report what we were briefed on. my jaw just about dropped. drone program, for example, which was never publicly acknowledged for a long time, though it was widely reported. we weren't allowed to talk about that. it's a very complex situation. he needs to be careful, and my guess is to protect the country and him, they'll try and keep it at a general level. my advice is to accept that level of generosity. don't ask how do you know what putin is thinking or how do you know what the iranians are doing? that starts down the slope of how did we acquire the information through signal intelligence? human intelligence? that's a dangerous area. melissa: senator, thank you so much, always a pleasure to have you on, david. david: why didn't he run for president as a democrat.

a governor who would never raise taxes. former treasury secretary larry summers sounding the alarm on possible trump presidency and what it would mean for the u.s. economy. >> it scares me, i don't know of a greater threat to our prosperity. i think policy would be extraordinarily erratic, there's great risks to the global economy from the truckulans, even going to the government's credit. domestically, i think it would put an uncertainty premium, the likes of which we haven't seen before, into the markets. david: you can catch the full interview with larry summers on "wall street week" tonight, 8:00 p.m. eastern time right here on fox business. melissa: a british pharmaceutical company could have a solution to the zika virus, but with summer right around the corner, the clock is certainly ticking. and trump hard-line proposals could be softer than they seem. what will the donald tweek next?

. melissa: after months of calling for a ban on muslims entering the u.s., trump clarifying exactly what he meant. >> it was a suggestion, look, anything i say right now, i'm not the president, everything is a suggestion, no matter what you say, it's a suggestion. melissa: true, and the latest in a series of tweeks to his hard-line proposals. trump is specifying that his muslim ban applies to vetting syrians coming to the u.s. ford o'connell and capri kafaro are back with us now. ford, what's the reaction? >> can trump win enough independents and democrats to win the white house, and he's going need wiggle room, particularly on more controversial policies to keep from him particularly the white working class voter is staying specific on the spirit of what he's talking about in the platform and core issues but keeping the details working

because that way it's harder for hillary clinton to pin him down. melissa: capri, what do you think about that, because it's true? >> any time you are in a campaign, it's a suggestion, he's telling the truth on that, but you know, i think that because donald trump is not a career politician, he's in the process of finding his voice. i don't necessarily think as much there is nefarious contemplation in the process where, i'm going to pander to this group of primary voters and pivot back to the middle to get the independents and working class d's, it's about the evolution of donald trump finding his political voice, figuring out where he stands and articulate that in a way that's going to -- >> i really got to disagree with you on that, capri, i think he knows exactly where his voice is. melissa: i do, too. >> he has to win enough independents and democrats but not be seen as a flip-flopper among republicans and core supporters. donald trump knows exactly what
4:48 pm
he's doing, he's got a master media iq close to einstein and he's on the tone and rhetoric board. melissa: capri, i think what he's doing, he does it, other politicians end up directly going against what they said before, he's actually not contradicting what he says in the past. if you look closely what he's saying, that's the genius and why it makes me feel like it's not an accident and knows what he's doing. >> you may very well be right, maybe i'm trying to nice. [laughter] >> in all of this. i really think that that is also i think part of donald trump's cachet is not contradicting himself, it's about the fact he's trying to as honest and genuine as possible, so if he's like, yeah, i've evolved on issues, better than saying before i was for it, then i was against it, then i was for it. melissa: we've got to go. david? david: we told you about a "washington post" reporter getting pressure to eat his own words. he finally did it.
