for everybody on fox news and fox business. guys, i'll see you back on monday. melissa: yeah, we will see you back here, liz, on monday. but what a way to start the weekend. we are ending up and settle david: more on the big market movers but here's what else we have for you in this very busy hour. wheels up president trump now on his way to saudi arabia.

the first leg of his first major foreign trip abroad. he's going to be facing a lot of challenges and opportunities over the next nine days. more on what we can expect from his historic tour of the middle east and europe. and yet more leaks from somebody inside the white house. new headlines just released from the washington post and new york times involving comments that the president supposedly made to russian officials about fired fbi chief james comey. we're going to take you there live for an update. among our guests this hour, former ambassador john bolton and lieutenant colonel oliver north. melissa: well, yuve got the dow ending the week on a high note. take a look at the numbers the dow surging 140 points, 20,803. let's bring in gerri willis. she is on the floor of the new york stock exchange. gerri, tell us what the mood of traders is after such a wild week of stocks, or we could call it the trump is it your testimony that we saw o wednday. >> that's right. people down here pretty upbeat, and i'll

tell you why. we retraced about half of that loss we had on wednesday. the last couple of days have been very good indeed as you were just reference it. although they do say this is all on light volume. not a lot of conviction here. let me tell you, solid earnings that have been lifting stocks. you showed us just recently how those big indexes are doing. down a little bit for the week. about a half a point. but solid earnings from companies like walmart and now that company reporting a 63% gain of online sales. very good news indeed for the nation's largest retailer. j and j also up and up dramatically. but look at the trouble for nike and cisco. cisco in particular down 6.7% and why they're laying off 1,100 people and all because of a really bad earnings report. not good news there. i want to tell you about a story stock today. farm equipment maker deere is doing very well indeed. up 6%.

they're raising sales estimates and forecasting earnings, good news for that stock. so, you know, ending this week on a upbeat note and just love going into the weekend with the stock market going higher. cheryl, back to you. >> all right. thank you. thank you, gerri willis. david: and here's a look at oil sorg in the week up about 5% up 50 bucks a barrel on expectation that opec will agree to extend production cuts. that may or may not happen. but at least for now, oil is up in gold driving up higher by a weaker dollar, ending the week up more than 2% to 1252.70 an ounce. sherrill. cheryl: stocks back up with ve nice, after wednesday's near 400-point drop. we recovered a little bit, not all of it. let's bring in veronica of the wall street journal and jarod of profitable trading.com. to you first.

all of this talk and banter on wednesday about, well, trump's policies are really going to hurt the stock market, we're going to lose all of our big gains. we really didn't. >> yeah. i think, first of all, there's something to consider. he has done a great job of desensitizing us; right? like, everything is in sensation with him. it's always news coming out of washington. we're hearing it almost every day; right? and i think traders -- until there's some real hard concrete damning evidence against trump, there might be these little selloffs, but i think, again, the march is higher. why? earnings are there. technicals are there. and, again, the optimism. we heard it earlier at the salt convention. that's there. so you have all of these underlying positive factors. i wouldn't get too afraid of the little stumble we had. cheryl: because i talk about so many people talking about that stumble. former fed chair ben bernanke, the full interview's tonight. but listen to what he told her about the market. >> i think the market's kind of overdid. the trump trade a little bit

after the election. i thought then, i think now, that the politics is going to be much tougher than it looks and the fiscal policy changes, tax cuts and the like are probably going to be slower, more delayed, smaller than was initially thought and markets, you know, are adjusting to that. cheryl: veronica, what do you make of bernanke's comments to her? >> indeed. i think more than a few people thought this was overdone. but trump is not the only thing propelling this market. we've got the strong earnings growth, good global growth, generally, acrosthe board, and there's still that promise of tax reform and regulatory reform i think we're going to see pull backs like this, volatility like this when comes out of washington. i think we could see a correction, though, if we get no substantial action on tax reform or regulatory reform by the end of the year. if that doesn't happen, then i think investors need to take

another look at the portfolios because they could be seriously concerned about what's ahead. cheryl: even though the president is on his way for his first foreign trip as president, next week the u.s. could balance the federal budget with over ten years of cuts. they're going to be talking a lot more about economic growth, gdp. so, jarod, we do get more news if you will, more talking points from the white house. do you think the markets are going to respond to that by a chance? >> yeah. i think the numbers on tuesday, the projections are going to be scrutinized. but remember, and getting back to bernanke for a second. he is a realist that lives in the now. he's very objective about his sort of analysis; right? and market participants by nature, we are subjective. looking to the future. generally optimistic. so, again, as long as things are sort of in line on tuesday with what a lot of traders are expecting, we might get a little bump. but eyes are on the prize. and that's to the upside right now. cheryl: will be airing right

here on fox business with maria bartiromo, but i think his comments really do carry some weight. that's going to be a great piece tonight. veronica, jarod, thank you very much. david: well, president trump embarking on his first diplomacy tour leaving plenty on the table back here at home. the white house is expected to propose its plan to balance the federal budget over the next ten years. that happens on tuesday. blake burman is live at the white house with the very latest and include the latest on yet another leak; right? >> one after the next, david. we'll get to those in a second. first off, the president has left the white house. he's aboard air force one in the air headed to saudi arabia. that is the first stop on his leg. after that, the vatican, and he meets with nato leaders and brussels and then the g7 summit. so you have two different trips here. first with leaders of three of the world's most dominant religions at the front-end, and then that nato and g7 meeting on the back end. as you mentioned, the budget or at least a larger proposal of the budget will be released next week.

so at least while the president is abroad, some of the domestic issues will be coming to the forefront as well. as for this stories, david, air force one was up in the air at about 2:30 this afternoon. within minutes of that, two stories were released within minutes of each other. one from the washington post, one from the new york times that will once again push this narrative as it relates to russia further. the russia post story says that law enforcement that is looking into whether or not there was any collusion, any coordination between the trump campaign and russia has identified a current white house official as a part of that investigation who is a quote significant person of interest, according to the washington post. aboard air force one, the white house press secretary sean spicer released the following statement in which he said quotas the president has stated before, a thorough investigation will confirm that there was no collusion between the campaign and any foreign entity end quote.

then the new york times put out a story as well, which goes to the oval office meeting last week between president trump top russian diplomats in which the times reports that the president told certifyin sergey kislack describing comey as quote crazy, a real nut job and also saying i faced real pressure because of russia. that's taken off end quote. in a separate statement, david, sean spicer did not deny this events, instead, he went on to decry the leaking of classified discussions. again, air force one up in the air at about 2:30. fast-forward about half an hour, you get these two different stories that the president heads overseas. david: fast-forward, that's what we've been on ever since. fast-forward. >> you know, david, i told liz claman at 3:00, it's finally calm here. david: even when the president is up in the air, there's still stuff going on like

this. congressman, thank you very much. we had you here to talk about the budget about what you have great concern but there is this breaking gnaws. i've got to -- the interesting thing about the new york times story, and i'm going to read to you exactly how the supposed information about what donald trump was saying about comey to russians was released. they said according to a document that summarized meeting, which was read to the new york times by an american official. so the american official that was leaking this stuff was reading to the new york times a summarization of the meeting. that's a bail remains as set thin read on which to base a story, is it not? >> it is indeed. it really highlights how easily the new york times can be manipulated when they agree with the content of the story that they want to print. so i think it's troubling to see the on going leaks, and you talk about manipulating world events. there's on going crisis of confidence in the white house. folks will want to put that

towards president trump. but really, there's a large continge there that's working aggressively to nullify the results of this ection. >> it's really extraordinary that they can't weed the leakers out and of course they're breaking the laws of the leakers, so they should be tried. let me get to the budget because the president will be abroad when it comes out. does that help making the economic case that at least while the budget is being released, the president's troubles will be prefer away? >> yeah. proximity. i mean, he's in touch all around the world, i'm sure. the big thing is a lot of this is in congress' court. you know, the president's worked with mulvaney and the rest of his team that he has assembled to put together a budget. the good news is that it breaks the status quo, it balances. the good news is that it incorporates a lot of the positive assumptions that he complained on. and frankly, that republicans across the board complained on. it is a coherent strategy to really get america growing again. and as the president would say to make america great again.

david: well, as you suggest, it's a plan or a plan to a balanced budget. we have done it before. we did it with a republican congressman and president clinton, so it can be done. but this budget assumes that we're going to have 3% growth this year. our first quarter growth was just .7%. i don't see 3% growth happening unless we have tax cuts this year, do you? >> yeah. i think 3% this year may be a little optimistic, but you really look at the ten-year package in the budget. so when you look at, hey, some years you're looking at an average in there. the reality is we haven't been performing at the level under obama, and we really do have the best chance to really solve a lot of problems when we grow. but the other thing is -- david: let me just ask, though, sir, do you agree or do you think that it's conceivable that we could have a tax cut in this year? >> yeah. the tax package is something that is very aggressively being looked at in the house. it's something that we had talked about doing before the

august recess. i'm hopeful we get back on that timeline. i've heard rumors we may slip a bit. david: how much a bit? is it going into 2018? >> i doubt it. talking with everyone here and recently talking with the speaker, i think fall is the slippage we're talking about. but i really think everyone is putting a lot of pressure to try to get ahead of august recess. i think the caution here is really the deadline that we set for repeal and replace obamacare. and no one really wants to feel like. david: forgive me, but are we going to have to do another vote in the house on repealing and replacing obamacare? >> well, it's certainly possible. i think the senate is focused on doing anything they can to avoid. so i'm interested to see what they can to prove it and really get this problem fixed for the american people. david: congressman davidson, have a wonderful weekend. thank you for joining us, sir. appreciate it. >> thank you. cheryl: we're going to be

talking about that, by the way. well, a tough day for anthony weiner. facing a federal judge while his wife huma makes it official. we're going to explain. david: and strong responses on capitol hill after the deputy attorney general briefed the whole house today on the circumstances surrounding the firing of james comey. cheryl: and president trump kicking off the first leg of his first foreign trip as president. he's on his way to saudi arabia right now but the stakes are high. former ambassador john bolton on what we can expect over this trip. that's coming up next >> this trip is truly historic. no president has ever visited the homelands and holy sites of the jewish, christian, and muslim faiths all on one trip. 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,

departing for his first foreign trip at any moment now as the president heads for saudi arabia's capitol to meet with leaders from the house of saudi. amid, well, major conflict in the middle east. of course the president now in the air, fox news benjamin hall has the latest. >> you only have to look at the streets to see just how welcome president trump will be here. the avenues aligned with american flags, alongside king can be seen across the city. this is hugely symbolic as well as a significant trip and the saudis are rolling out the red carpet. they know that the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia had gotten worse under the obama administration, but they are really hoping that that will pick up. not only is president trump going to meet the king and the crown prince, he's also going to be giving a speech on islam to 50 years from muslim countries around the world. and that is going to be a key point that many people lebanon looking at, not only things that he said during the election campaign regarding islamic terrorism. we had a chance to speak to the foreign minister earlier,

and he told us that none of that will get in the way of what will be a successful trip. >> president trump is a man who has vision, he's a man who has courage. he's a man who does the right thing. >> it's no secret the relations between the saudi arabians and the u.s. were thwart during the obama adminiration. not least the battle against isis and the bombing camign, which saudi arabia is a key contributor to. and then of course there are the arms deals while the president is here and of course many people looking forward to that changing the state of the relationship moving forward. in riyadh saudi arabia, benjamin hall, fox news. cheryl: all right. thank you, benjamin. david. david: and here now is former u.s. ambassador to un, fox news contributor, good to see you, ambassador. the first foreign trip of president obama i think had a very different tone. just to remind viewers of what it was like, here's a clip

from president obama's first foreign tour. take a listen. >> the united states will be willing to acknowledge past errors where this errors have been made. we've at times been disengaged and at times we sought to dictate our terms. david: now, that tour was called the apology tour. essentially apologizing for what america stood for, what its values were, et cetera. we're not going to hear that in this trip, are we? >> no. and it was vintage obama. that was all before i was born. now i'm here. things are different. but i think there's another direct comparison here with the speech the president's going to give i think on sunday to the arab leaders assembled in saudi arabia. the comparison with the obama speech in cairo at the university there where he talked about where they brought in people from the muslim brotherhood, and he declined to get into the terrorist issue, and its idea

logical roots. so i think this is a real opportunity for trump. this whole trip is a big opportunity. but certainly here in saudi arabia to explain that what he's against is terrorism, not islam. something i think his audience will be receptive to because they're devout muslims and guess what? they've seen the dangers of terrorism that their people have felt the sting of isis and al-qaeda. they're with us on this. david: and they're also scared of iran and of course the previous administration made this deal with iran that the saudis were not fans of. but of course the israelis play into this too. you mention the muslim brotherhood. clearly president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton had a different view of the muslim brotherhood, which is a terrorist organization as they did with iran. some people say because of what happened the flap with the president releasing intel over the last few weeks that because of that, israel has so youered on. but i can't imagine them

preferring a president that was cozying up to the muslim brotherhood or iran. >> this part ofhe nature of the leaks around the president. the israelis are delighted that barack obama's out the door. and probably the only people in the region more delighted than the israelis are the saudis. and some of the other sunni monarchs in the oil-producing countries because the threat of iran to them is. the external threat is on the nuclear side. but this is a real opportunity looking at what happens hopefully after the defeat of isis and the near future to deal with the next potential conflict. iran and its aspiration in the region. so trump has a real opportunity in this first foreign visit to put some markers down here, and i think he'll see possibly an increase in cooperation between israel and some of these sunni arab states. it's happening beneath the surface now. it may become more visible.

david: we need those allies more now than ever. former ambassador to the un. thank you very much. >> thank you, david. cheryl: well, secretary of defense general james mattis and joe are holding a rare press conference today at the pentagon to address progress made in the fight against isis and the u.s. air strikes. fox news jennifer griffin is standing by at the pentagon with the latest on what they've had to say. jennifer. >> well, before the press conference began, which, by the way, is the only the second press conference here at the pentagon, mattis has had -- that he's had in the briefing room since january 20th, i asked whether there were iranians targeted and killed by u.s. war planes when that air strike was called into yesterday inside syria near u.s. training base near the jordanian border. he surprised reporters by saying that there may have been iranians on the ground killed later during the press conference he said these were

iranian directed shi'a militias. the purpose of the press conference to outline the president's directive to accelerate the destruction of isis on that front, defense secretary mattis and the chairman of the joint chief and the state department special made a few key points. the new strategy involves surrounding isis and killing all of the foreign ciders so that they could not leave syria. the suggestion is that this would no longer be a game of whack-a-mole. >> first, he delegated authority to the right level to aggressively and in a timely manner move against enemy vulnerabilities. secondly, he directed a tactical shift from shoving isis out of ceased locations in an attrition fight to surrounding the enemy and their strong holds so we can annihilate isis. the intent is to prevent the return home of escaped foreign fighters. i want to emphasize here there are has been no change to our rules of engagement. >> mattis was asked whether

the decision to delay arming the syrian kurds, a decision that some news reports this week have suggested was handed off by the obama administration and then delayed because then national security adviser mike flynn had opposed was not true. mattis said that the delay in arming the kurds did not delay efforts to retake racka, that it took time to arm and now that decision may anger then national security adviser mike flynn, who's being investigated for having received $500 in lobbying fees from. cheryl: so many connections there. jennifer griffin live from washington. jennifer, thank you. david: well, more on the u.s. launching air strikes against pro iranian troops in syria. what does this mean for the syrian civil war going forward? lieutenant colonel oliver north has his take coming right up. cheryl: plus, possible health care do over. could the house need to vote again? .

>> is this bill coming back? >> this is a technical issue. >> my colleague wants to schedule something, i'll we can walk the bill over there together because i believe the american people are waiting for it. liberty mutual stood with us when a fire destroyed e lingoom. we were able to replace everyt in it. liberty did what? liberty mutual paid to replace all of our property that was damaged. and we didn't have to touch our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. well, there goes my boat. you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance

david: well, of course the house taking a victory lap after passing american health care act. but did they start celebrating a little too soon? there's a possibility the house may have to vote again. gerri willis has all the details surrounding the bill. hi, gerri. >> that's right, david. remember this scene two weeks ago the celebration of the passage of trump care in the house. [applause] >> not so fast, people. now it looks like the house may have to vote yet again on obamacare repeal and replace. the american health care act. the reason the congressional budget office is yet to estimate its effects on federal spending. if the ahca requires more

federal spending and results in no savings, then the bill won't conform with senate rules for reconciliation, which allows passage by simple majority. that report expected next wednesday. the spokeswoman for the house weighs and means committee told fox business this today. based on, and that is the bill is just being held until cbo issues its final score. based on the previous two scores, republicans appear confident they can hit their target deficit reduction number but are holding back out of an abundance of caution. not everybody is so optimistic, though. in other words, we could be back to the drawing board yet again. consider it the bill was a squeaker last time, passing by a four-vote majority 217-213. now, whether the republicans can hang onto that majority is anybody's guess. but to send the bill to the senate now and the cbo concluding it doesn't save $2 billion, then the bill could be dead in the water and the republicans would have to start all over again with a

new budget resolution. congressional rules would likely prevent republicans from fixing the bill once it's in the senate. several republicans said today they were surprised that the day didn't realize had yet to move on to the senate. democrats complaining about a lack of transparency. david. david: it's amazing that the congressman wouldn't have known it was not gone to the senate. cheryl: it is incredible this turn of events. let's bring in joe and former trump campaign cochairman and cristy, new heights communications president. i mean, joe, i get politics and mistakes are made. but this is a pretty good autopsies if this new cbo score comes in, and it's more brutal than the last one. this could spell big problems for the gop. >> well, it depends what your definition of brutal is. because the ash is that the bill may not save enough money. and the bill requires $2 billion in deficit reduction.

the old and original ahca bill had a savings of something like $150 billion over ten years. and the bill has only become more conservative to get the passage thugthe house freedom caucus. incas speaker ryan poi out that this is a highly unlikely thing that needs to be happening. but what you are seeing is a congress who does not want to make the same mistake again and not have enough votes to pass it, and they are doing everything in their power to be cautious and optimistic at the same time. cheryl: well, i have to push back there on that one, and i'm going to take this to cristy because it really is kind of generally thought that this next cbo score is going to be worse. it's actually -- you remember how surprised we were by the last one. let's just be fair here. but here's the procedural issue we're worried about here. is that if the cbo score number two comes in, and it adds to the deficit, that means that the -- this bill and the senate does not comply with the bird rule. that means it can't go through reconciliation. it has to comply with the rule to make reconciliation, and that's the way this would have to get through the senate, as

long as democrats tell party lines which -- what they're going to do. >> which i think what they're going to do. look, this situation is a embarrassment all around. not because people are going to have to go back and maybe revote on it but also because it calls attention to the circumstances of the first vote, which is one where they had to do a lot of arm twisting at the last minute. one where a number of people said they hadn't even read the bill. they didn't have the cbo score, which in itself was problematic. and now we're going to have to, you know, remind people of all of that. at the same time as we just said, we might have a situation where the cbo score is actually worse. and the number i'm concerned about is unless the deficit number, although that's important, but really, the number of people that the cbo score is going to say will be kicked off. cheryl: yeah, that was the big hit, joe, that they faced with the first go around. they managed to gepa that. let me ask you this, joe the other big piece of information that the investors want to see go through, at

least this year is tax reform. if indeed this has to go back to the house and back to the senate, what does that mean for tax reform? >> well, it certainly doesn't mean it would happen any quicker. as you know the bills are tied together because the savings from one is going to be passed on to the other. and perhaps that's why you're even seeing this -- again, to use the same term, an abundance of caution as speaker ryan has put it. there's no option for the gop to not pass some form of obamacare repeal and replace, the only reason they're in congress right now is that task. there was some talk that the bill was rushed through. the first rule of vote whipping is when you have enough votes to pass it, you have to pass it immediately, and that's why you saw it very quickly. cheryl: guys, you're going to be back. we have a lot more to discuss with you. we'll see you in a few minutes. david: like, for example? cheryl: we have this. disgraced politician anthony weiner apologizing in a federal court today for sending obscene material to a minor. here's how he pleaded. coming up next

david: breaking news. defense secretary mattis just a while ago saying u.s. forces attacked iranian forces in syria. joining us now to react to all of this is retired marine lieutenant colonel and host of war stories oliver north. i think this is significant, colonel north, the fact that we are actually now attacking surrogates, if you will, of iran, don't you?

>> well, it is significant. and, in fact, there's a lot of significant events surrounding this particular event. the place it took place is a syrian border post and what's called the three corners area where the borders of syria, jordan, and iraq meet david. it's a stride the euphrates and the main highway that runs east of iran to iraq in iraq all the way to syria and therefore to lebanon. in other words, the iranians need this route reopened to secure a land route to support hezbollah. that's what this was all about. david: which was a creation of iran and essentially controls lebanon right now. now, the u.s. -- so the u.s. is hitting iranian forces in syria. nobody hates the iranians more than the saudi arabians and the president is on his way to saudi arabia. coincidence? >> well, i think in this particular case because what was happening was the u.s.

supported a rebel force was actually being approached by a -- the force that's described as a pro iranian force. now, that pro iranian force included -- apparently now, i'm getting this back channel. david: okay. >> it included syrian troops, hezbollah troops, and guard core. and they were warned, transmissions were sent to the russians to stop, u.s. f-16 did their cold passes, then they fired warning shots. and when it approached, they were hit. and it knocked out a number of armored vehicles and trucks. i'm told that the force consistent of several hundred syrian arm troops, hezbollah fighters and likely members of the revolutionary guard core. and it was a threat, so it was described i think properly by the pentagon as a force protection measure. david: interesting. now, clearly the saudis are not upset about this. this just fits right into what they would like to see happen. the shi'a forces move out of the middle east.

so we are helping right now in a way the saudi arabians and clearly, we have a maybe justifiable disdain for that iranian deal that obama signed. what do we get in return? what will the president when he's in saudi arabia ask for when we've heard some talk about so-called arab nato, which would fight terrorism. >> look, the message to saudi arabia and the other monarchies that are attending this big conference in riyadh, message from president trump is very clear. i'm not obama. i'm going to show you 180-degree shift from the last administration's policies. and that means i understand you know, and i know you know is that the number one issue for you guys is the shi'ite theocracy in iran. they're looking for a u.s. commitment to protect against the nukes. the elephant in the room is this -- does pakistan provide

to the saudis? that's not on the agenda. david: wow, if that happens, it could change the equation. cheryl: back here at home, democratic congressman anthony weiner has pled guilty today to sending sexually explicit texts to a minor. tearfullyapologizing in court to his family and the teenage victim displaying quote his own destructive impulses. wiener has agreed not to appeal any sentences between 21 and 27 months in prison. he must also register as a sex offender. and there is this: the new york post is reporting his wife and top aid hillary clinton huma huma aberdeen has now filed for divorce. david: what a mess. meanwhile, president trump is now getting closer to announcing his pick for fbi director. what that means for the bureau going forward. >> plus deputy attorney general rod rosenstein holding

david: deputy attorney general rod rosenstein briefing house members today. telling lawmakers that he stands by the memo he wrote that outlines comey's defenses and also slamming reports that comey's dismissal came after he asked for more resources for the russia investigation. house majority leader kevin mccarthy weighing in on all of this. take a listen. >> i thought it was very informative. of coursthere were things that were classified. he did get asked a question that wasn't classified and one of them is that he has no evidence that comey asked for any further resources that all the resources were there. david: surprise, surprise, it's inside the beltway. not all lawmakers found the

briefing to be so informative. some democrats expressing concerns about the investigation into possible russian medaling in the 2016 election. >> it was completely convoluted in that way, and it did anything to instill confidence that this thing is going in the right direction. david: lawmakers have generally voiced confidence in rosenstein's newly appointed special counsel robert who is leading the russian probe. cheryl: well, president trump's top choice for democratic senator joe lieberman is the president's leading contender to replace james comey. long-term democrat turned independent may get bipartisan support but some democrats are calling foul play. joe, i want to play you a sound byte. here was the initial read that she had on lieberman. i want you to listen to this. >> i think it's a mistake. i'm somebody who spent a lot of time in law enforcement. this is a moment where we need a law enforcement professional

that never complained for a presidential candidate, never complained for office. never wore a party level to head the fbi. cheryl: does the senator have a point? >> what we're seeing is the resist, resist, resist mantra play out and this time it's the episode of joe lieberman. this is someone who has been praised by people across the political spectrum from newt gingrich to elijah cummings today. if not joe leisur lieberman, o are thdemocrats going to agree on? short of barack obama himself, i can't see where the democrats would be supportive of anything donald trump does. cheryl: well, let's look at the other candidates then. because among the contenders -- and these are all people that were at the white house on wednesday. former senator joe lieberman, andrew mccabe, which is currently number two right now, frank keating from oklahoma and richard, former fbi executive assistant director. what about the other names

here? >> in the issue with lieberman i'm not sure to what extent it applies to some of the others is not just that he was a politician, and played for one side, in this case for democrats. but also that he doesn't have a law enforcement background, which should be one of the primary qualifications of the job. there's also another complication here, which is the fact that he is tied to trump in that lieberman's law firm represented trump. there is a conflict of interest there. and personally, i'm not all that comfortable with president trump getting to nominate the next fbi director when he's openly stated multiple times -- cheryl: i know. all right. i know. we're going to have you right back, guys. stay there. david: it is his job. but we've got the panel coming back. meanwhile, who's been hit hardest by the press? wait until you hear what

whoope whoopi goldberg was hit hard. president obama or president trump? break through your allergies. try new flonase sensimist allergy relief instead of allergy pills. it delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. most allergy pills only block one. new flonase sensimist changes everything.

david: report card from the press. president trump slamming the media for unfair treatment. but whoopi goldberg suggesting former president obama had it worse. listen. >> i did want to point out there have been a couple who have been perhaps treated more unfairly or as unfairly. let's talk about i don't know barack obama. [laughter] [applause] david: unbelievable. well, joe and cristy are back. what do you think? >> look, i know whoopi goldberg is on television but

this begs the question whether she watches television. she lives in a bubble. if there was ever a reason for you not to get your news from watching the view, this is what it is. it is well documented. it is evidence just by the most basic thing. we see this video of comey, who's not hiding behind a curtain and not hugging trump while the media's running this story that it is happening. they don't treat this president fairly. that is beyond any question. david: well, cristy, just today, harvard university, which is not a big fan of president trump, as you well know. harvard university came out with a study, they looked at all the press reports in trump's first 100 days versus obama. 80% of the stories about donald trump were negative. by four to one. and most of the statements by president obama were positive. so come on. she's wrong. >> there's a rean fo that. our currenpresident is possibly under criminal investigation. david: well, that's what you

think. that's the point is if you're liberal or democrat like you or whoopi goldberg, it should be negative. but the point is there's no comparison. four to one. >> it has to be based on what the actual news is. if you look back at what the obama scandal were, it's like he wore a tan suit. david: so where does the news come from. the news comes from a media that hates trump. >> donald trump got only two out of 100 editorial board and since he got elected. >> there's a reason for that. >> it has been nonstop. david: there is a reason. you're right. ed media hates trump. >> and also he ran an embarrassment of a campaign. >> we've never seen that from barack obama. time magazine had 100 photos of with he love. that is the bottom line. david: i'm sorry you're wrong by four to one the press is antitrump. thank you, gang, appreciate it. >> glad this one isn't.

>> new research posted in the medical journal shows that a person sent envoys can be attributed to overall attraction. psychologist have been digging through about three decades of research. that is true. they were attracted to somebody because there was a smell about them that was appealing. >> animals rely on smell.

there is some breaking news on the story of the moment senator jack reed is reacting. all of that is going to be dealt with by elizabeth mcdonald and that is right now. liz: psident trump leaving the swamp of washington. tackling and ambitious agenda. it is a 95 stop marathon blitz across the middle east. the president is said to get set to get big multi- billion-dollar deals overseas while they are left back home bickering. president trump trying to push the company --dash -- the country forward. amid the foreign diplomacy and
