4:01 pm
out. what a senior white house official is telling fox now. suspicious story. the u.s. vowing to tighten the screws as north korea test as missile they claim is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. we'll examine the latest thread coming up. david: back to these markets, shares of record markets. shares of johnson & johnson, cisco and caterpillar driving the dow higher. oil adding fuel to the rally as well. phil flynn watching action from the cme in chicago. first to ashley webster on the floor of the new york stock exchange where the tech titans are just unbelievable. it is going through the roof! look at even though amazon ended down, my god, 957 a share? ashley: they hit highs every session it appears. record highs, david, intraday highs at least. as you say, apple, amazon, alphabet/google same story with netflix. these are the drivers. this is pushing nasdaq to record
4:02 pm
high or record closing i should say. 32nd record close for the year becoming ho-hum. s&p finishing in record territory by three points but a record nevertheless. all very impressive. apple, amazon, google, netflix, yeah, alibaba that is a new high getting lion's share of the new money. i want to talk about the cybersecurity stocks. we've been following these all day in the wake of the big cyberattack around the world. not surprisingly these stocks have been moving higher. check out fireeye up 7 1/2%. proofpoint. cyren, 2.30 stock, nevertheless getting new business because of the hacks. homebuilders moving higher. the latest national association of homebuilders sentiment out. that gauge higher than expected. new construction builders believe there is such tight inventory for existing homes,
4:03 pm
new building will be in demand. because of that we see homebuilders rallying very nicely. oil finishing up 2%. also a nice boost on energy companies. all in all pretty good day for trading. melissa: ashley, thank you for that. go to our man in the pits, phil. oil jumping this afternoon to close at two-week high. what is fueling this rally? see what i did there, phil? >> it is beautiful rally, whatever it takes that's right. russia, saudi arabia basically came out and had their mario draghi moment overnight, said they will do whatever it takes to get the market in balance. they commit todd extending production cuts first quarter this year into march of next year. that really got this market boeing but they may have to do even more than that to get this market in balance. we pulled off the highs later in the session after the energy information administration raised once again the output for u.s. shale. they will raise it in may. raise it in june. overall production could hit 10 million barrels a day in
4:04 pm
august. back to you. melissa: phil, thank you. david: as ashley mentioned earlier, tech giants are on a tape with the nasdaq hitting all-time high. as amazon celebrates its 20th year as publicly-traded company debuting 18 bucks a share. from the original ipo price would be worth $600,000. we have fox news contributor, steve court terse and liz peek from the "fiscal times." steve, the stock was down a little bit. hit the high early in the morning and settled down a little bit. over the years, this stock is extraordinary. would i argue the reason it is extraordinary since the election because of a man named donald trump. donald trump has convinced the market that the government is doing to get out of internet, not get further into the internet. there was all this stuff going on. they had all kinds of fancy names for it but the bottom line
4:05 pm
during the obama administration was government interference in the internet. that is not going to happen with donald trump. that is good for amazon. >> david i think you're exactly right. by the way i wish i bought the stock at $18. david: we all do. >> ironic in silicon valley president trump is not very popular. probably one of the a lot of popular places in america as a matter of fact for president trump. yet he has been wonderful for silicon valley and wonderful for american business overall, certainly for american investors. the optimism right now out in the economy, not just in the stock market but also in the real economy is palpable. the belief we can really grow again. in the decade of slow growth we've endured not worthy of as you as a country or not worthy of our political system. we can do better and will do better. the proof is in the pudding. look what markets are doing and surveys are doing. david: what got amazon started
4:06 pm
because of internet was convenient and there wasn't any taxes. now we have the local state taxes in the internet various ways to get you, manage to get something on the internet without taxes it makes you feel like you made your day. if the government debt gets out even more that will spawn more amazons, don't you you? >> i think amazon has grown formidablely by innovation and incredible management ideas and we're not done. there are incredible number of markets amazon can still go into an dominate. whether it is finance. they're talking about becoming a lender, for heavens sakes, transportation, all kind of things amazon has in its future. that is why the stock is up so much, a very favorable trump inspired background in the market, no question about it. as far as the tax issue for amazon i've been on the side, people buying on amazon should pay state and local taxes. melissa: oh, boo, boo!
4:07 pm
>> okay. but guess what? the states and cities need those taxes. it really isn't fair for a company to take advantage of a loophole. david: they don't need the taxes anymore than -- you should see way they're wasting my money right now. we can argue, talking about that -- >> they will get them some way, folks. melissa: that's true. the mother of all cyber attacks. government agencies on high alert after the spread of a global hack attack that impacted at least 150 countries. hackers demanding ransom to bring infected computers back to normal, as experts fear it could spread even further. fox business's tracee carrasco is live in the newsroom with latest on this one. tracee tell us what you know? reporter: an impressive stat according to the fbi, cost to corporations infected with ransomware ballooned to one billion dollars in 2016.
4:08 pm
it has been a big day for cybersecurity stocks on the heels of friday's attack. that affected 10050 countries and nearly 300,000 systems. investors anticipate growing demand for online security. companies around the world brace for future attacks. one of those companies, mcafee, ceo christopher young sent me the thoughts on global hack. the problem we see in security companies take the lack of an attack on their company, meaning they have a good defense. as a result, not much emphasis is placed on urgency patching their systems to prevent future attacks. ransomware appears to exploit a vulnerability in microsoft windows reportedly identified by the u.s. national security agency and later leaked into the internet. microsoft president brad smith placing some blame on the government. he said in a blog post, this attack provides another example why stockpiling of vulnerabilities by governments is such a problem of the hackers demanding 300 to 600 in digital
4:09 pm
currency, bitcoin. homeland security advisor tom bossert says so far they haven't gotten much from their victims. >> appears that less than $70,000 has been paid in ransoms. we're not aware if payments led to any data recovery. reporter: intelligence and law enforcement officials that may foreshadow a wave of similarly damaging attacks as copycat criminals try to make use of digital weapons. melissa: tracee, thank you for that. here is morgan write, cybersecurity analyst and center for digital government senior fellow. we learned interesting things in the presser this afternoon. number one, that some people actually paid out, they said they collected about $70,000 but that no one who paid money got any of their data back or anything they had been promised. that money was down the drain. does that sound right to you? >> it doesn't surprise me either. these folks that did this, you don't have to be clever anymore. you have to have access to bunch
4:10 pm
of software and internet connection. that's what they did. the bad part they weren't that sophisticated. the that is the good part. they weren't that sophisticated and bad part look how the impact had. it will get worse. people may pay out or not pay out. if you don't have good backup of your data, don't understand your employees shouldn't click links, will be irrelevant whether you pay it or not, you will lose the data. melissa: heard anger that the nsa discovered this vulnerability, what was the rest of that from there? tell me that story. >> there is a responsible disclosure program which says the government says if we find some things like these zero day exploits where there is no defense against they're supposed to disclose it, except for and there are a bunch of whereases and therefores ways around it. it should not come to a shock that our government is stockpiling this. as we see from the global map, countries we have ad verl zale relationships with and targets
4:11 pm
nsa and intelligence collection efforts are running microsoft windows. it shouldn't come as a shock we're targeting these systems. >> average person, morgan, install all the updates and all the patches. >> absolutely. melissa: don't click on any fishy links, back up your stuff. did i say it right? what am i missing? >> you got it. these folk don't put out security updates as suggestion. they're required. so install them. second of all, up to you, if you're watching this, don't quick clicking these things. this is how it spread. they said they're worried about a second wave? why are they worried about a second wave, people opening up email and seeing phishing and spear phishing attacks, clicking up the link and back up your data. back it up. melissa: next thing you get a link, security patch or link and that is actually the virus. how do you avoid that? >> one simple trick. see this on most browsers or emails, hover your mouse, pointer of the mouse over the link see what it shows up.
4:12 pm
i could send a link, says foxbusiness.com would point to north korea. i would make it do anything i want. look past the link and look, when in doubt, type it in yourself. go to microsoft.com or apple.com download it from a trusts source. melissa: great advice, morgan. thank you for that. great advice. very valuable. david: two great bits of advice. cyberattackers involved in the ransomware attacks relied on bitcoin as currency of exchange, something may lead to a serious dent in bitcoin's value. it dropped 200 bucks today. steve, bitcoin is wonderful example of invention on the free internet market but there are serious concerns by treasury department officials and other law enforcement officials about money laundering and bitcoin is a perfect vehicle for money laundering, right? >> right. i think it is. reminds me a little bit of the stuff we used to read about silk road. we have to be careful as
4:13 pm
investors anyway to put too much credence in bitcoin. i love innovation. you're exactly right i love the idea of alternative currency. i also believe, maybe i'm old school, ultimately a currency has to be backed up by a system of laws and ultimately by military. reserve currency of the world defaults to the strongest military. used to be the british pound for centuries. now united states dollar. bitcoin doesn't have that. it still exists to some degree in wild west of finance of the i don't think it will become a true competitor to the dollar or euro, et cetera. melissa: back to the agenda, the house ways and means committee set so hold a major hearing what sweeping pro-growth tax reform will look like. liz what do you think about this? >> we want this to turn out well, right? the country is ready, markets are ready, investors are ready for a good tax reform program. this is the linchpin of trump agenda. we all knew why health care
4:14 pm
reform had to go first but time to roll out what they really want in the way of tax changes. we know the gist of it. but mnuchin will be on the griddle accused by democrats of simply looking for tax cuts for the wealthy, et cetera. they have to make this appealing. they have to sell this to middle america. and explain why simplifying our tax code which should by the way please everybody, and also repatriating money from u.s. corporations that are holding money overseas all make sense and will all lead to job creation. i think it will. i hope mnuchin can make that case. melissa: liz, steve, thanks to both of you. >> thank you. david: another black eye for united airlines. the carrier confirming a big mistake one flight attendant made putting pilots and passengers at risk. melissa: it's a doozy. you have to hear that one. showdown in seattle. president trump's revised travel ban back in court. federal judges hearing case was randomly selected.
4:15 pm
they had all one thing in common and doesn't look good for the white house. david: could key members of the trump team be on their way out or media make-believe story. what a senior white house official is now telling fox. >> the president getting to decide his staff, no one else does. these folks are doing incredibly hard and difficult job 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the american people. dear predictable, there's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

4:19 pm
philadelphia international airport. the faa is on the way to the scene. we'll bring you the latest on this story. teeterboro just outside of manhattan of the big story for us here in the new york metropolitan area. melissa. melissa: huge reboot of fake news according to the trump white house. firing back at reports of a shake-up on the president's team and standing firm there is no need after special prosecutor on russia. blake burman at the white house with all the details. blake. reporter: senior administration officials push back on non-stop reporting a major shake-up at the white house is in the the works. one source going as far to tell my colleague john roberts it is nonsense. however sources also say that the chief of staff, reince priebus might be back on the bubble again. an adjustment to the communications shop is likely. as it relates to the comm shop, press secretary sean spicer was
4:20 pm
peppered with questions as it relates to the tweet on friday regarding the president, jim comey and possible tapes of their conversations. spicer once again would not elaborate on what all of that meant. >> why won't you just explain whether or not there are recordings of -- >> i think president made it clear what his position is. >> that is not the question -- >> that is what the president's position. >> refusing to confirm or deny, how does any senior official feel comfortable having a conversation. >> the president made clear what his position is. reporter: spicer made the argument that comey didn't have the leadership skills to leave the crown jewel of law enforcement in the fbi. as it relates to comey's replacement, melissa. eight candidates were interviewed at department of justice oaf the weekend that list continues to get bit tilled down. melissa, back to you. >> blake, we'll keep an eye on it. david: here to react dan heninger, "wall street journal"
4:21 pm
deputy editor, the big story today was supposed to be a shake-up in the white house. things are totally out of control and huge shake-up. sean spicer was not asked one question about the so-called shake-up inside of white house. leads you to wonder whether the whole media stuff about what is happening with the russian investigation, comey firing, a lot of those stories that are front page one day, next day we find aren't true. >> i feel the same way, david. it is hard to -- there was time sophisticated consumer of the news when had anonymous sources in the white house, might have been the national security advisor. these days you have no idea who could possibly be the source of these stories. you don't know how much weight to give any of them. that i think is the case with this one. you know to sean spicer's credit here, he was asked last tuesday about this taping. then his reply was i went and i talked to the president personally and there is nothing further to add. obviously trump said, i have nothing further to add.
4:22 pm
but then they go on and ask him 10 times at least the same question over and over. no wonder there are "saturday night live" routines about this what is he supposed to say. david: doing it for a simple reason, they want to show on nightly news mix sownian syndrome, i am not a crook. we have nothing more to say. they're trying to do this as much to make parallel between water gate and what gone on with the comey firing. frankly do it at risk of coming out with false stories. >> well, i don't know whether the stories are false or not but the questions has been raised is there going to be a shake-up of the media operation or even chief of staff, and i don't think sean spicer or reince priebus should be fired. the real he question is, does donald trump need or want a press secretary or a chief of staff? he himself said, maybe he should dot press conferences every couple of weeks. maybe he should. david: maybe he should. i'll tell you three quickly
4:23 pm
stories that turned out not to be true. front page story one day, next day not true. rosenstein, rod rosenstein, number two guy at justice, never expressly recommended that mr. comey be fired. you read the letter that he wrote and in that letter clearly he was recommending that comey be fired. another story that turned out not to be true, trump fired comey because the fbi was devoting more resources to the russian investigation. turns out under, in testimony susan collins asked mr. mccabe the current head, acting head of the fbi whether that was true, he said absolutely not it, wasn't true. they have enough resources to deal with russia. then the third one was that rosenstein was set to resign because he was unhappy about the way comey was handled. rosenstein himself said that was not true. one day the story comes out, front page, next day it is not true. >> david, we know reporters, whoever their sources may be,
4:24 pm
they don't literally make this stuff up. it is not fiction. they have talked to somebody. david: right. >> it is clear that the white house, the trump white house has been leaking like a monsoon. you can cold call the trump white house and probably get somebody to leak something to you anonymously. donald trump has something of a problem with various factions inside of the white house trying to get their story out at his expense. david: dan henninger, "wall street journal." good to see you. thank you very much. melissa. melissa: left up in arms over newly-crowned usa. why some of her answers are creating a political firestorm on social media. plus, rising tensions with north korea. why the country's latest missile test may be the most concerning one yet. next, lieutenant colonel thomas mcinerney sound off. >> president of north korea continues to say he wants to hit the united states which is what my concern is, the capacity of this recent launch from yesterday could actually hit our troops and our bases in guam. ♪ are allergies holding you back?

david: we have more breaking news. teterboro airport in new jersey, just outside of manhattan, one of the busiest private airports in the northeast has been closed because after plan that went down in residential area. this is in the town ever carlsbad, new jersey. local police, firefighters, ambulances are on the scene. we're also learning that the plane hit a building while it was apoaching teterboro airport. one build sothing on fire. there is no information released regarding deaths or injuries. we are monitoring the story very closely. we'll bring you updates throughout the hour. stay tuned. melissa: the escalating threat of north korea. the country carrying out another missile test and claiming it could carry a nuclear warhead that can reach american shores. president trump telling fox news's judge jeanine pirro, that north korea should have
4:29 pm
been dealt with a long time ago. >> they should have have been stop adlong time ago. they should have been stopped by obama and before obama. >> what can you do about this. >> i can't talk about but i think we're having some very, very good thoughts. melissa: here now is lt. general thomas mcinerney, fox news military analyst. how big of a deal is this, sir? this is huge, melissa. in my opinion they crossed the red line. this missile launch is example how their missile capabilities are improving. that we'll have to take some action soon. i'm not sure, although the president kind of intimated that china will help. they may, i would immediately introduce sanctions. that will happen tomorrow at u.n. security council. if russia or china veto it, we have problems, we'll do it with the allies. i put russia and china on that embargo list as well for not helping. melissa: there are some out
4:30 pm
there, at least blame in part president trump for being provocative with them. at the same time former defense secretary bob gates said changing our foreign policy where things clearly haven't worked, basically change is food. listen to what he had to say. >> we have had three administrations follow a pretty consistent policy toward north korea and it really hasn't gotten us anywhere. so the notion of disrupting and sort of putting the chinese on notice that it is no longer business as usual for the united states i think is a good thing. melissa: do you agree or disagree? >> absolutely agree. he is spot on. melissa: russian president vladmir putin, what role does he play in this? i mean he has said that the world should talk to north korea rather than threaten it was pretty much what he said. what do you think about that? >> that is not going to work. the fact is is, he intimated that we are intimidating kim
4:31 pm
jong-un and it won't work. the fact is, only thing that will work, if you intimidate kim jong-un and he will not survive. that is what we're going to have to do. the sanctions would be a lead to it, but i would start prepositioning u.s. forces and allied forces in the region and start taking action because it will be air and naval power that will be the decisive factor over there. we do not want to go to war but they must know we will not trade off seattle, los angeles, and san francisco for seoul. we don't have to because we can, we can eliminate that artillery and their capabilities on seoul far greater than most people realize. melissa: general mcinerney, thank you. appreciate your time, sir. >> thanks, melissa. >> by the way we're getting breaking information about teterboro airport, the plane hit a building in teterboro was apparently on approach pattern to teterboro when it hit that building.
4:32 pm
we don't know precisely what was going on inside of the cockpit. we still don't have reports about injuries or deaths. but we do know a plane went down while on approach to teterboro airport. the airport has been closed to all incoming and outgoing traffic. we'll keep you updated on that. canceled over being a republican. tim allen's show ratings, hitting highs, second most popular show on abc. why did abc cancel? the outrage just details coming up. the mainstream media comparing president trump's actions to watergate, but bob woodward, the man who uncovered watergate begs to differ. >> you know, there are within thousand questions and they should be answers but there is no evidence that president trump at this point was somehow involved in collusion. think your large cap equity fund has exposure to energy infrastructure mlps? think again. it's time to shake up your lineup.
4:33 pm
4:34 pm
4:36 pm
david: breaking news. we have new pictures and new information. melissa: whoa. david: the smoke that you see is billowing from, as a result of a plane crash, teterboro airport, is an airport very close to manhattan. you may remember, "sully" sullenberger before he ditched into the hudson river was going to teterboro airport, just outside of manhattan a plane making an approach to teterboro hit a building. a debris from the particular strike, hit another building. we heard two people have died. we're not sure if they were in
4:37 pm
the cockpit or on the ground or perhaps in one of those buildings. you can see the firemen are approaching that building. you can see the flames, this is a very bad accident and it is now a fatal accident with at least two dead in teterboro. we are monitoring this story. we will bring you any details as we get them. melissa: what this airport is known for, a lot of corporate jets coming in and out of new york city. a lot of people coming here for business and flying privately come into this. we'll see who is on the plane. more to come on this story for sure. all right, the trump administration defending the travel ban after being blocked by federal judges. justice department attorneys are in court today,orging that the nation needs this order for national security reasons. dan springer live in seattle with the details. dan, what's the latest? reporter: yeah, melissa, the hearing lasted about an hour 15 minutes, a little longer than normal. i have to tell you the three judges from the ninth circuit court of appeals were a lot tougher on the government's lawyer.
4:38 pm
he is probably used to it, same attorney who was in virginia last week arguing in front of the full fourth circuit court of appeals, getting peppered with questions there. acting solicitor general jeffrey wall is defending president trump's travel ban. nowhere is religion mentioned. but the judges were skeptical of the president's motive. >> has the president disavowed his campaign statements? has he ever stood up and said i said before, i wanted to ban all members islamic faith from entering the united states of america. i was wrong, i have consulted with lawyers, i'm now addressing it simply to security needs? has he ever said anything approaching that. >> yes. judge, hawkins, he had said several things approaching that. detailed in various amicus briefs. reporter: by the way sean spicer at daily briefing was asked that very same question, if the president has ever disavowed
4:39 pm
statements made on the campaign trail that led to ruling, that by the judge in hawaii, and spicer sidestepped it basically saying that this, in ban, travel ban will be held as constitutional. melissa. melissa: thank you for that. david. david: mainstream media is you drawing a lot of comparisons between president trump an watergate but veteran journalist bob woodward says not so fast, take a listen. >> this is not yet watergate, not a clear crime on russian issue. in the case of nixon, he had his former white house counsel john dean for four days he testifying that the president corruptly and illegally led the obstruction of justice. you have nothing comparable. david: here now is know well-nikpour, gop fund-raiser, capri cafaro, former ohio senate minority leader.
4:40 pm
good to see you, ladies. bob woodward broke the watergate story. he should know, right? >> he should know. i think he is absolutely right on this issue. you know ultimately, you know i think comparisons to watergate are a little bit ill-advised. yes there are obviously issues here that need to be examined. there are questions that need to be answered. why the investigations pending in front of both the senate and intelligence committee and fbi are important to come to a conclusion. and frankly i am also on the side of having an independent prosecutor in all of this. most americans are in favor of an independent prosecutor. it is no skin off anybody's nose to make sure, particularly in the light of the fact that whoever the president appoint to the fbi, obviously it going to have to have some kind of a relationship with being appointed by the president and at the same time trying to investigate what is going on. i agree no crimes yet but we have to find out what is going on. david: noelle, they're
4:41 pm
investigating right now. the fact watergate began with a crime, the break-in at dnc headquarters. the only crime that we know of is happened that somebody is leaking information from inside of the u.s. government to make donald trump look bad. >> absolutely. i think that you know, the mainstream media was quick to jump on the nixon comparison. why? because you know, conspiracy theory and everything that went on with watergate with nixon, and, plus the big reason is, nixon was dishonest and it was a disgrace. so i think that if they can tie this together they would but the biggest thing is, woodward, who is was actually involved in it, actually a part of all this sat said absolutely not. there is really not a comparison. david: i think the american public, capri is smart enough to figure this out, serious differences media pushing watergate they want the same thing that happened to nixon to donald trump. >> right.
4:42 pm
david: "wall street journal" came out with a poll today showing that donald trump's approval, disapproval rating virtually unchanged since comey was fired. it was 40% approval in april. 39%. >> look obviously those are still historic lows when it comes to approval ratings. watergate is just a salacious term. anything that remotely sounds controversial since watergate happened we slap a gate on it at the end to make it a huge controversy. we need to be adults to let the process take place. see if there is crime committed here f that is the case, obviously due process needs to take its course. david: lady, sorry to cut in. we'll see more of you in just a moment of the we have more breaking news. melissa. melissa: so we are following the breaking news at this hour. two people have been killed after a small plane hit multiple buildings while approaching teterboro airport in new jersey.
4:43 pm
we're now hearing the two people died were in fact two pilots on board the plane. there were no additional passengers. we'll continue to bring you updates as we get them. but look at that scene, wow. david: another headache for united. the airline sparking some cockpit security concerns after one flight attendant made what could be a life-threatening mistake. we have details on this coming next. ♪ ♪ predictable. the comfort in knowing where things are headed. because as we live longer... and markets continue to rise and fall... predictable is one thing you need in retirement to help protect what you've earned and ensure it lasts. introducing brighthouse financial. a new company established by metlife to specialize in annuities & life insurance. talk to your advisor about a brighter financial future.

it was actually somebody who just screwed up and put the codes, you know those codes, maybe you don't know them, there is a code to try to get into the cockpit door. here is what united had to say about it. they say, very clearly this was accidentally. the information was shared inadvertently but absolutely not a breach. they go on to say in a statement to fox business we're working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. airline pilots association says actually the codes have all been changed. no harm, nothing amiss at this point. but, the pilots go on to say, there is not enough security on those doors to start with. they had been arguing for some time for stronger security for the cockpit. the united pilots union had been advocating for installation of secondary barriers what they call them on passenger aircraft for the past 16 years. what they want is a mesh door that would be inside the big heavy door on the outside, just as extra precaution.

they have been arguing for that a long time but airlines don't want to do it. just latest trouble for united. you know all all about the dragg business. a dead rabbit. a woman recently going to paris, sent 3,000 miles in the wrong direction. whoop sy, they're sorry. david: unbelievable, jeff. customer satisfaction at all-time high. melissa: makes no sense. david: from chicago, appreciate it. don't figure that out at all. melissa: goes more to polls having nothing to do with reality. under fire with conservative principles. the left bashing newly-crowned miss usa for having different opinions of the nerve of her listen up, heart disease.) you too, unnecessary er visits.

melissa: so the newly-crowned miss usa already under fire. the left having a meltdown after winner kara mccullough, made controversial, quote, unquote, about political issues during the competition. >> do you think affordable health care for all u.s. citizens is a right or a privilege and why? >> i'm definitely going to say it's a privilege. i see first-hand for one to have health care you need to have jobs. >> what do y consider feminism to be and do consider yourself a feminism. >> i would like to transpose the word feminism to equalism. melissa: noelle nikpour, capri cafaro are back with us. noelle, to be honest, i'm surprised she was brave enough to say that because she had to want to win. those are not popular, normally they say, i want world peace for everyone and all the animals too.
4:53 pm
instead she says something that is definitely controversial. i'm surprised she said it. i'm surprised she still won. i'm not surprised she got hated all over social media. what is your take? >> well you know he, she is a brave young lady, i will say that, it is not the typical talking points. it is almost lake a political pundit taking a side. this was very brave of her. i'm not surprised she got the backlash, because we've seen this before. do you remember carey prijon stood up for same-sex marriages. she had a whole press tour defending her right. i really hate that we have pulled politics by the way, into every aspect from nfl games to miss usa. melissa: capri, i'm a little more concerned. she is a nuclear chemist. she's obviously gorgeous, that goes without saying.
4:54 pm
i'm a little worried i will not have a job tomorrow. i don't know like she is very smart. what do you think? should i just stay home tomorrow? >> melissa, i think you have some job security but maybe there is opportunity for miss usa going forward at another part of the network. she certainly has a right to her opinion. but, frankly, as i think noelle was saying, i am really frustrated about the fact that we have these conversations about folks that are not necessarily engaged in politics, and we get all crazy what they have to say. with all due respect to miss usa. i'm glad she is nuclear chemist and seemingly is an intelligent young woman. melissa: right. >> but i don't care about what b bono, from u 2. has to say about politics, warren beatty has to say about politics, madonna has to say about politics. viewers of this show sitting at home know more than realities of

health care than anybody else on tv espousing bit. for me i wish focus on issues and not get all crazy what pseudocelebrities but celebrities are saying. melissa: noelle, she was asked the question she was supposed to answer, that was part of i'm not totally familiar with pageants. that is one of the things she has to do. maybe it is cool thing to be expense the grain and maybe donald trump is the surprise and this is a new trend. >> melissa, this would be great if a political pundit ran for miss usa, because what pundits can do, take a question and instead of feeling like they're on the spot to pick a word or pick a choice, they can change the narrative and i really wish you know, she had been able to have the ability to be a little bit more seasoned and answer a little differently. melissa: 10 seconds, capri, so hillary clinton launched her pac. it was just a tweet a few minutes ago, called onward
4:56 pm
