4:04 pm
earnings, so far 75% of which have beaten expectations. this is actually the best quarter for earnings since 2011. joining me, james freeman of "the wall street journal" and cheddar ceo john steinberg joining us from the floor of the new york stock exchange. so, john, democrats are talking about impeachment, about how all of our state secrets have been exposed by the president yet wall street yawns and just looks at earnings. what is going on? >> i think we're seeing tremendous efficiency gains in the economy. this is the end of a 20 or 30-year-old stretch of technology improvements. you're seeing enormous earnings expansion, role of technology. you're not seeing top-line growth. we're aways of scared top-line growth but this is really efficiency. david: on the other hand, i'm happy they're focusing on efficiency on wall street and not inefficiency inside the beltway but, james, there is all this media hype, and a lot of democratic foot-dragging with regard to tax cuts.
4:05 pm
if that does interfere with any meaningful tax cut this year or possibly even 2018 doesn't that drive the market south. >> the market says we're not seeing end of constitutional governor fence in the united states and rule of law is not a threat, but top-line growth we're missing despite really great earnings, the answer there is, they have to make tax reform the priority. i worry it is slipping into the winter now and i think politicians, republicans in control of the house and senate have to realize besides the economy needing a boost, their political future in next year's elections depends on getting a pro-growth tax cut done now. melissa: absolutely. string of disappointing earnings reports from one retailer with tj maxx reporting the worst same-store sales growth in two years. john, it seems like for these guys, it is amazon's world and
4:06 pm
we're just all living in it? >> melissa, easiest short of all time, these retailers. i sat with terry lundgren on black friday with sears. everything will be fine. this is inventory issue last year. this is massive way people buy things. amazon is hungrier than ever to go into apparel. game over for all the mall retailers. melissa: james that is stark or bleak, or great if you're an online retailer. but that is definitive. what do you think about what john said? >> it is amazing, 20 year anniversary of amazon going public we're having the same debate 20 years ago, can these brick-and-mortar guys figure out how to deal with online competition. obviously a lot of them still haven't. walmart is making a pretty aggressive effort. i wouldn't say game is over. this is an industry still with declining barriers to competition. thank goodness there is not a lot of regulation on the internet. hard to, people have been skeptical of amazon been punished for a long time night is game over.
4:07 pm
50% of retail searches now begin at amazon. people are not even going to google. they're not going to facebook. they're starting there. walk into a mall or walk into soft goods retailer, no one there under the age of 50. it is dramatic change. melissa: all i would say i ordered three things from walmart online last week. two of the three things were completely wrong. total wrong came in the box. not at all what i ordered. i had to send them right back. first and last experience. it hurts. >> as long as government isn't protecting amazon the way they did in the book business, i think the kong superintendenter will be okay. melissa: good stuff, guys. david: i love john's assuredness. even if somebody is wrong, they're that sure, good to hear from them. melissa: so true. david: "wall street journal" is reporting that ford is slashing its global workforce by 10% with the auto giant expected to outline the plan as soon as this week. this is coming on heels of the automakers suffering forth consecutive deals of declining
4:08 pm
sales in april. jeff flock joining us now with details. jeff, i understand they spent a lot of money, ford did, on electric cars and self-driving cars, neither of which has grown into fruition. that was about $4.5 billion. hasn't been wasted perhaps but hasn't born fruit. reporter: a little bit of the amazon plan, if you're making money put it back into the business. that is what mark fields has been doing. at the moment the stock price is not good. look at the stock performance over the past year, ford compared to the other three to it three, well, it hasn't been good. they're down double digits. the or the guys are up almost double digits for gm and big-time or bigley perhaps for fca. i think ford is about to become as popular at the white house as the white house press corps because this layoff could be 10,000 jobs lost. the president has been touting how mark fields got on board,
4:09 pm
saved jobs, didn't build a plant in mexico. that was but as you point out people have to buy cars. if you look at the inventory, it is not just ford, david. it is gm, fca, fiat chrysler as well, they have got too many cars out there. if you look at layoffs across the auto industry, not just ford, gm is i lag people off. fiat chrysler laying off 1400 people coming in july. this is happening industrywide, people don't buy cars, well, you don't build cars. you don't want to build cars, if you do, sell them at a loss, they will be in washington saying can we have a bailout? david: we got to remember ford didn't take any bailout money. irony hereford has the best-selling vehicle in america right now, the truck, the f-150. reporter: f-150. explorer is made at that plant behind me. not too far behind. they're doing okay. it is profitable. david: little carries and electric cars.

4:14 pm
melissa: new information surfacing that president trump shared classified information with officials at the white house. blake burman live at white house with latest on this quite a story, blake. reporter: one of the stories that has evolved throughout the day, melissa. the white house will not say one way or the other if president trump dished classified information to sergey kislyak and sergey lavrov when they met inside the oval office. h.r. mcmaster briefed the media on this day. he said the president did not divulge sources or methods related to information. he described the conversations that took place inside the oval office that took place last week as wholly appropriate. the president made the first
4:15 pm
comment on this, after "the washington post" report first released n a tweet the president described discussions with russian officials as quotes, facts pertaining to terrorism. in his only on-camera appearance today, he said that meeting was productive. >> we had a very, very successful meeting with the foreign minister of russia. our fight is against isis as general mcmaster said. i thought he said, i know he feels we actually had a great meeting with the foreign minister. reporter: sources tell fox that it was israel developed intelligence receipting to isis. it was intelligence about those threats that formed part of what president trump was talking about. israel's ambassador to the u.s. ron dermer was standing firmly behind the president on this day saying in a statement, quoting israel has full confidence in our intelligence-sharing relationship with the united states and looks forward to deepening that relationship in the years ahead under president
4:16 pm
trump. however, melissa, a senior european intelligence official said its country might not be so forthcoming with sharing information intelligence going forward, i'm quoting here, it could be a risk for our sources. melissa, back to you. melissa: we'll see, blake, thank you. david: well as the administration continue defending president trump's discussion with russian officials at the white house, attorney alan dershowitz says the allegations are extremely significant, take a look. >> this is the most serious charge ever made against a sitting president of the united states. let's not underestimate it. david: karl rove, former deputy chief of staff under bush 43, fox news contributor. carl, good to see you. what do you make of dershwitz's comments? >> i think right now we have a lot of hysteria on the left. i just simply say, little whiteboard action here. david: okay. >> we had a president orchestrated the cover-up of the burglary of the democratic
4:17 pm
national committee. so the suggestion that president trump shared intelligence information in a meeting with the russians regarding isis, that is worse than that? how about the president who kept the fact that he had a stroke, incapacitated from the public over a year, woodrow wilson? what president trump did is worse than that? how about the president who had ex parte illegal communication with the chief justice of the supreme court regarding the dred scott decision, encouraging the court to come down in favor of declaring that black people were property? james buchanan. i could go on and on, is dershowitz really, really serious about this? david: you have to admit it is hyperbole when you see all other examples. not to mention more recently we had a president who allowed isis to grow and flourish calling them the jv team suggesting that they weren't a big threat. >> that is judgment.
4:18 pm
go to the same president we know misled the american people deliberately about the provisions of the nuclear agreement with iran, and then traded money for hostages with those two planes sitting on the tarmac in switzerland. again lied to the american people bit. while we're on that issue what about the white house that countenanced the american people being told that the benghazi incident was a result of a video that nobody saw? i mean, we've got plenty of this. my recommendation would be, settle down, deal with the things, with the facts as we know them. we can have disagreement what the import of those is but the suggestion this is the worst thing a president has ever said or done is just simply way over the top. david: karl, here is another thing you have to deal with. somebody broke the law again. this information while it is okay for the president, you can disagree or agree whether it was a good idea, if it is true he gave out intel he is still not breaking the law as a result of doing that because he is the one who decides what is secret and
4:19 pm
what is not but somebody did break the law by telling "the washington post" exactly where that, what that information was and where it came from. "the washington post" withheld some of that information, good for them from that, i think their screaming headlines were over the top but somebody leaked classified information. that is against the law. who do you think the leakers are? >> well i don't know but we have two sets of leakers. we have current administration officials, people now serving in the government. we have former government officials and i see the latter, the former government officials. i think what happened there is, the country, what sort of appears to be the case is, this had to do with isis bomb-making activity and might have involved a description of the particular city where this activity was being done, and that information was collected by, developed by, another intelligence service of a foreign government and it may have been that in order to send a shot across president trump's
4:20 pm
bow, that country's security service told a former u.s. government official, go tell the american press what he did, here is what he did. so that part of it, nobody broke the law there, that was an intelligence service feeding to a former government official. this administration has so many leaks, i wonder who is manning the pumps to keep them from going under. not just on this, but whole variety of things. these leaks don't serve the country and serve the president. david: you have to get rid of a leaker. i suspect a lot of obama leftovers are the source. we'll wait and see. karl rove, thank you for coming in. melissa. >> you bet. melissa: amid all the drama president trump spent afternoon with a meeting with his key turkish counterpart to fight terror. >> i look forward to working with president erred dough gaun achieving -- erdogan, achieving, peace an security in the middle east and working towards shared threats and working toward dignity and safety for all of our people.
4:21 pm
melissa: this comes amidst strained relations between the two nations. u.s. refused to extradite a turkish clerk living in pennsylvania who they claim orchestrated erdogan said organize ad coup against him and militias helping with the fight against isis. this is one of those relationships that is so dicey. david: right. melissa: they're having this meeting. people say you shouldn't have this meeting, you can't trust this guy. other people say we have to find a way to work with somebody in the region. david: amidst with all this craziness, these are real world concerns and they affect americans fighting abroad and affect europeans subject to terrorist attacks particularly in turkey, somebody leaking information in order to get president, just seems not only to be ill-advised from somebody inside of the administration but it is very dangerous for the world. melissa: very true, very you true. meanwhile breaking news,
4:22 pm
defense secretary james mattis is swearing in heather wilson as air force secretary at the pentagon. wilson is president trump's first service secretary nominee to be approved by the senate. wilson formerly represented new mexico in the house before becoming acut ant for the defense industry which drew scrutiny from several democrats. david: got a nice handshake from general mattis. budgeting for illegal immigrants. a new plan to put millions of tax dollars aside to help undocumented workers stay in the country. wait until you hear about this. plus democrats are calling for answers on russia and have a few knew -- new demands for an fbi director. a closed-door meeting we have details despite the closed doors coming up. >> the actions he took knew he could be detrimental to himself. none of those things matter because the president had to do the right thing for the american people because he believed jim

4:26 pm
melissa: behind closed doors, the senate intelligence committee holding a closed meeting in the wake of president trump's decisions, discussions with russian officials and firing of fbi director james comey. fox business's adam shapiro is in d.c. with the latest. what are you hearing about this, adam? reporter: well that meeting is going on behind closed doors. the senate intelligence committee is holding its regular weekly classified meeting with without former fbi director james comey who decline ad request to testify. democrats on capitol hill want comey to testify in public about his firing and potential links to the fbi's investigation of russian interference with the 2016 presidential election. but no date has been set for such a hearing. at the same time president trump hasn't indicated he may announce by the end of this week a
4:27 pm
nominee to fill the fbi director's position. but senate minority leader chuck schumer has vowed to block any nominee unless an independent prosecutor is named to investigate russian influence on that election. senator schumer continued to pressure the administration today calling on republicans to- >> there has just been one vote against all fbi director nominees in the history of the united states of america. it is always been a nomination that gets virtually unanimous support. we are hoping that the white house moves in that direction. reporter: i'm going to throw it back to you. there is breaking news. melissa: we have breaking news. we have to rush away from you. sorry about that. go ahead, david. david: ranking member of the senate intel committee, senator warner is speaking right now about all this. let's listen in. >> we believe that things that are that sensitive should not be part of the news cycle. >> do you think there is national security risk then when
4:28 pm
u.s. officials or people in these meetings keep leaking -- >> i think there is national security risk anytime anything about the intelligence community is reported publicly and leaks are definite concern that we have of this adminstation. >> white house insists that the president's actions were wholly appropriate. do you take their explanation at face value? i would prefer to have a conversation with an individual in the room actually what was said. we can legitimately comment whether we have concerns about what was said. >> problem getting in touch with the white house today? >> we had a very busy day. we hope to talk to them before we leave. >> you haven't heard from them yet? >> we're optimistic -- david: that is chairman and ranking member. that is senator burr on the screen and senator warner from virginia, the democrat was speaking earlier. there is a lot less rancor in the senate intel committee than there was in the house committee. melissa: yeah. it is amazing. they have these meetings behind
4:29 pm
closed doors. there are people want to know what is going on. at same time you feel like anyone says like grilled cheese and they go, oh. david: geraldo, he is not big fan of president trump even though he likes him personally. now the issue is the leaking more than the substance of what is leaked. the question is, you could hear senator burr suggesting that may be a bigger issue since people are leaking classified information which is a crime. we don't know of anything else the administration did was a crime. we know leaking classified information is a crime. it just happened again this week. >> yeah, right. david: we have breaking news on earnings. red robin reporting first quarter results. the company soaring almost 16% after-hours, this following a beat on both earnings and revenue. this is a burger chain. it topped earns estimates by 32 cents. jack-in-the-box also up about 11% after-hours following second quarter results.

the restaurant citing an increase in fiscal year same-store sales of approximately 1%. people are going for the burgers. melissa: there you go. disney under a hack attack. one of their hit movies could be leaked if the company doesn't pay up. disturbing on that up next. david: one leak after another. just keeps going on and on. how does the trump administration finally put an end to all these critical leaks coming out of washington? >> people are taking the law into their own hands. you may not like this president, you may not like what he is doing but it's a crime to take classified information.

4:34 pm
at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. melissa: playing defense, president trump pointing a finger at the quote, leakers, following reports that he shared classified intel with top russian diplomats, tweeting quote, i have been asking director comey and others from the beginning of my administration to find the leakers in the intelligence community. national security advisor h.r. mcmaster also defending president trump earlier today. >> what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he is engaged. melissa: here is guy benson, townhall.com political editor. he is also a fox news contributor. robin biro, former obama campaign regional field
4:35 pm
director. thanks to both of you for joining us. guy, what do you think, do they have a point on the leakers? >> i think they have a problem with leaks across the board. some are national security leaks which is a crime. some are just unpleasant, an fortunate inconvenient political leaks, some which are coming from within their own white house. so it does seem like at the moment the trump administration is getting swallowed up by leaking and for his own political future, and on a national security level as well, they have to do something about it. melissa: robin, what would that something be? i mean other administrations on both the left and the right have been beset by similar things. feels like not to this degree but how would you even go about figuring out who is doing this? >> that is a tough one, melissa. i'll tell you they're having meetings every morning where, they're calling loyalty meetings where they list the staff, to list five things that they like about the president, and then chant, make america great again five times. melissa: who told you that? where are you getting this from? i never heard that?
4:36 pm
where do you got that from? >> a leak. guess what, from the twitter for the white house senior advisor. guy was right, people within the white house are putting out this information. but i will argue that the moment that donald trump himself, he had every right to divulge and declassify that information. so the moment that he did, it was, it was unclassified information. so i don't necessarily see the problem with somebody leaking unclassified information at that point. melissa: so, guy, i do see one of the problems in what robin just said. when you look at this article in the "washington post" and they talk about, you know, a former administration official or former, somebody, you know, in the white house who is then anonymous, it makes me think it is untrue. when he talks about the guy on twitter who is talking about the loyalty test in the morning, immediately i'm suspicious. you don't have a name, you don't have a person, don't have a place, you don't have any evidence of the half these leaks maybe they're not even true?
4:37 pm
>> sometimes anonymous sources have accurate and important information. it is part of journalism. sometimes you you have to take unnamed sources with a grain of salt what they have to say because we don't know as the public who those people are, what their agenda might be. color me quite skeptical that they have meetings every morning where they have to chant, make america great again. melissa: i feel like something would have reported that. >> completely ridiculous to me. that rings false. melissa: robin, we, not really focus of our discussion here. it is about how to get rid of the leakers within the office and how much of the president and how much damage they're actual doing. it does seem like it is open season on the administration. and robin, maybe, to the benefit of democrats because it seems like it is slowing down the agenda? >> you know, honestly i don't think it is to the benefit of anybody, especially not the american public. we have much more more important issues like health care to address. as far as it being open season
4:38 pm
for democrats, sure there might be political gain here, but this is harming everyday americans. honestly looking like amateur hour at the white house. mitch mcconnell him sell just said that he is tired of the drama coming from the white house. melissa: althougthere is theory that the distraction for the democrats and there is actually a lot going on behind the scenes. time will tell. gentlemen, thanks to both of you. david. david: we have breaking news. the media area of the north lawn, seen it in a lot of shots, this has been evacuated, this area. as you can see looks as though they're getting ready to get back on. there was disturbance outside of the white house gates. someone jumped a bike rack, they are now in custody. apparently there was an arrest right outside of the gates there. we'll bring you more details as we get them. disney is claiming that criminal hackers have stolen a copy of one of its unreleased films and are threatening to
4:39 pm
release part of it if the house of the mouse doesn't pay a ransom in bitcoins. bitcoins again. hillary vaughn standing by in l.a. with the very latest. hi, hillary. reporter: hi, david. the fbi tells "the hollywood reporter" they have seen number of attacks hit hollywood. this latest threat is the newest in town and their new target is disney. sources tell "the hollywood reporter" that disney ceo bob iger broke the news of the breach in new york yesterday, and hackers had one of their movies and threatened to release it if they didn't get paid. disney won't confirm they are being blackmailed by the cyber bandits. they are working with the fbi to find out who is behind the ransom demand. they have made their demands clear. they want disney to pay their ransom in bitcoin, if they don't here is what they're threatening to do. the hackers say they will release the first five minutes of the movie online. if disney doesn't fulfill the demands and release the rest of the film in 20 minute increments. we don't know what film they
4:40 pm
have in their possession. sources tell deadline that they think it is the "pirates of the caribbean" fifth installment, dead men tell no tales. this is. it has made 3.7 billion in the revenue worldwide. disney says they won't pay off the internet bandits. calling a hacker's bluff hasn't paid off. just a few weeks ago hackers released entire new season of "orange is the new black" after hackers ignored their demands. david: hillary vaughn, $3.7 billion. what a franchise. unbelievable. let's bring in miller are newton to weigh in on the hack related to disney. how difficult in the grand scheme of things is it to hack into a movie studio's website? >> history would say it is not difficult enough. you know the disney hack came on the heels of the netflix "orange is the new black" hack just weeks ago.
4:41 pm
what is interesting about that hack, is that a different group called the dark overlords took responsibility for that hack. and bob iger, like in the flicks has opted not -- like netflix opted not to pay the ransom. david: "orange is the new black" led to the stuff being leaked. once again we hear about bitcoin being currency of exchange for these ransom things. that is what happened to the attacks last week. why is it so difficult to trace bitcoin? i would think with all of our energy, with the nsa working et cetera, we could track down who is responsible for an account to which a ransom is being paid? >> that is encrypted monetary exchange on the internet. all of this ransomware has these account numbers where the payment is directed embedded in the software. if you go on the bitcoin account you actually can't connect those account numbers to any individual. david: wow. >> therefore, because it is an
4:42 pm
