>> god forbid the media looked at w uranium one. >> they have to go after the pie >> the president was the man of the year. this year they call them and they say they will probably be and the president tweets out as you said i don't do probably. >> time magazine does this all the time and the difference is this president calls out the media when they're dishonest and no one has done it before and that's why the person people love them. >> pete: that was our own griff jenkins earlier in the she demonstrating the sure strength of the new umbrella. you can get it at weather man umbrella by the way. >> griff: first time on fox & friends that's the thing to do. >> pete: if

>> pete: are you with us from cleveland sir? >> geraldo: hi, you're a real talent and very smart lady. >> lisa: well thank you, go on. >> griff: we have 10 minutes for you but we have to get to actual news. we want to get your weighing in on the democrats calling for representative john conyers to resign after the sexual harassment scandals hit, capitol

hill. he says that they are false, and the ethics committee launching an o fish am investigation into him and want to play a sound bite for you geraldo. this is democrat congresswoman kathleen rice calling for conyers to resign make it a point by the way that pete has been making but first i want you to take a listen to this. >> what i am voicing public lib ly is what every single private citizen is saying across america. why are the rules for politicians in washington different than they are for everyone else. well let's get the ethics commission into it and let's investigate this and make forever to come a up with a conclusion. that's not real. that's not real and that's not accountability. >> pete: geraldo where do you weigh in on this?

>> geraldo: john conyers, it's a otsafe democratic seat so theres nono national political strategc cost to the democrats if john conyers was to resign of course he is the most senior man. 88 years old, i'm sorry i just can't get my head around

>> well, we're going to do a big job with amazon. i've known amazon ever since they started at perkins, and i really admire what jeff bezos has done with his tenacity and brilliance. >> and he's a media mogul. he owns the washington post. >> he bought the biggest house in washington recently. he wants to really be in every single aspect of our lives. and he's doing it brilliant. >> so your deal will include -- i mean, delivering? >> just selling. we already sell our meals through amazon. but we're working on -- i'm doing pets and garden through amazon. not only amazon. it's just another vertical, another way to sell beautiful

products. i mean, everybody is selling on amazon and to say, oh, i'll never put my products on amazon is crazy. maria: why would you do that? >> because they're selling. maria: exactly. and i don't know black friday is as important as it once was. when you have venues that you can buy anything any time. >> well, it's only about the price. black friday pricing. it's the pricing. it's the sales price that people are going after. and it's an excitement. it's really trying to get people out shop. they're not going to buy just the things that are on sale. they're going to buy other things too. that's what the merchants need. we need to get people into stores again. stores are really suffering because of online sales. but i think it's 59% of americans want to shop online. maria: yeah. >> either by their phone or sitting at their desk at home. maria: so what does it look like today to you in terms of the outlook out there? the consumer shopping. and we debate how strong the economy really is. things are getting better. >> well, the stock market's at a new high. i don't know thanks to who. but i think business is doing well. and i think that -- i think

that we are recapturing some of the manufacturing that we lost. i think we're doing a rather good job in the united states of making great product again. and putting it in the customer's hands in various ways. i mean, you do have the qvc. you do have the amazons. you do have walmart and jet. all of these companies are doing a variety of ways to get product into the customers' hands. maria: but look what happened to the mall business. look what happened to the brick and mortar right now. >> well, overexpansion in certain areas and not paying enough attention to an amazon, for example. that was crazy. some stores didn't pay any attention to amazon. maria: yeah. >> i remember talking to a spanish retailer, the biggest retailer in spain. they said, oh, we're not afraid of amazon. maria: oh, really? look what happened to grocery stores when they announced the whole food deal. >> yeah. and already whole foods has turned around. that's what i read, anyway. i'm not sure. but i read that whole foods is

doing infinitely better because bezos lowered the prices at whole foods, they were going too high. people were turning away from it. and now they've lowered the prices and sales are booming at whole foods. [lance] monica, it is absolute chaos out here! gale force winds, accumulations up to 8 inches... ...don't know if you can hear me, but [monica] what's he doing? [lance] can we get a shot of this cold front, right here. winter has arrived. whooo! hahaha [vo] progress is an unstoppable force. brace yourself for the season of audi sales event. audi will cover your first month's lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event.

maria: i'm reading an article here. martha stuart and snoop dogg, tv's oddest couple. it seems like an odd couple. >> we are an odd couple. maria: but it seems like you have commonalities. >> well, we were on the justin bieber roast, and we sat next to each other, and he had been on my show a couple of times. he's fun to hang with, as they say. and remember, i'm not a rapper. i'm not black. i am, you know, i'm sort of like a teacher.

and snoop loves to learn. so we get to talking and some brilliant agent or somebody brilliant at vh1 decided that they were going to approach us about doing a cooking show. they wanted a contest. snoop and i really decided we wanted to do a dinner party where we would invite all kinds of people, and we have great guests. this year, oh, my god. from jamie foxx to puff daddy to i'm trying to get eminem, and i want beyoncé, of course. maria: she's now the highest-paid singer. >> her album just got number one. this week. so exciting. maria: so it's a cooking show. but it's celebrity talk show. >> it's cooking, it's talking, it's very comedianic because snoop has a great sense of comedy and i'm developing it. and we have a lot of fun. it's really fun. maria: are you attracting a younger audience?

is that what this is about? >> oh, yes. but not only are we attracting the young, the usual vh1, vh1 is now experiencing a whole new shift in demographic because my fans are watching, and it's bringing in a whole new audience, so we're -- it's -- i call it a culture medaling. maria: when you see things like netflix, hulu, all of the streaming going on, does it give you, you know, a lightbulb in saying. okay. this is how i need to shift my business because that's the whole thing. i mean, you see amazon paying all of this money for original content. content is king, and you've got it. you're creating it. >> yes. well, we have a huge library of content that is being -- we can divvy it up. we can cut and splice and paste, and we have a lot of valuable content that i think is being used well now. and it will be used even better in the future. i think content -- edited content is the way of the

... >> well, you know, i keep thinking, you know, thinking about tax reform. ... 'm not an expert at all. i am not in the accounting business, and i'm pretty terrible about that. no, but i'm thinking i'm probably going to benefit from it. maria: right? >> but is my neighbor going to benefit from it? is somebody i know, my housekeeper who makes so much less than i make, is she going to benefit from it? i don't think it's equitable. rushing, rushing, rushing

through a new way to cut taxes for the wealthy -- as they say, it will probably help me. but i'm not thinking about just me. maria: well, i'm talking about small business, really. 25% pass rate and a 20% corporate rate. that has got to be a positive. >> well, i don't know for about small business. you read so many different things. no one has come out with a very clear synopsis of what this tax reform bill is really about. you should do that. you should make it. maria: i'm doing it. every day, that's what i'm doing. i'm definitely doing it. thank you so much for that. martha, great to have you on the show today. >> thank you. maria: thank you so much. martha stuart. stay right there. more wall street week after this. >> coming up from at&t and time warner and the coke brothers in time, inc. hearst ceo steve schwartz talks about ceo steve schwartz talks about that

retail. under pressure like never before.

and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver.

maria: welcome back. no sector has seen more change recently than the media industry. i spoke with the ceo of hearst, steve schwartz about his company taking on the challenges of the changing media landscape and what is ahead. >> it's affecting all sectors. our biggest sector of media is actually television. but, look, there is more great media than consumers have time to consume, and there are more places to put advertising than there really is advertising. so it has put more pressure on all the consumer media businesses. no question. maria: when you see somebody like a disney saying, look, we're not going to be selling our shows, giving content away anymore. we're going to do our own streaming service. is that where this is going? i mean, you've got very important stations across the country. what do you do when people's

choices or thoughts are changing in terms of how they want that delivered? >> well, disney is our great partner. we own 20% of espn. we jointly own the history channels. and i think what bob iger is doing with this new streaming initiative is absolutely the right thing to do. maria: will you be doing something like that? >> well, you know, espn, of course, will certainly be doing. and, yes, i think everybody is looking at how can they have a deeper relationship with the consumer? and, of course, a deeper digital relationship with the consumer's very important. maria: yeah, that's a good point. it's that customer that you have, you just have to figure out how you can go deeper with me. let me ask you about espn. look, we know that ratings are down, obviously. this has been an issue for disney. what's been the impact on hearst? >> well, first of all, i think espn is still the best brand in media. and the sector has gotten harder but you're talking

about a very unique asset. no question. both the advertising landscape and the subscription landscape has gotten harder for all tv brands. maria: absolutely. >> but if there's a brand you're going to bet on, i would say it's espn. maria: do you think the ratings have been impacted by this whole kneeling controversy? or is this something else? >> i just think it's the general that technology allows for so many more options, so i think all shows, whether they're entertainment or sports or what have you, are, you know, more competitive environment for audience. maria: let me ask you about what's going on in your business in terms of consolidation. we see the reports in disney, talking to fox acquiring discovery, networks doubling down on content. is content king to the extent that you want to even add more of it? how will your business change, given all the deal flow going on around you? >> i think you have to look at consolidation on a case by case basis.

we recently announced that we are acquiring the fabulous magazine brands. men's wealth, women's health prevention. we have been selectively buying newspapers adjacent to areas where we already own newspapers. we bought a couple television stations over the past years. we just look at it on a case by case basis. maria: okay. so do you think that the deal flow picks up? as we speak, at&t is trying to finish its deal with time warner. we don't know where that stands yet, and we've got all of the players trying to figure out how am i going to scale up in terms of growth? >> i think it will -- i don't think there will be a huge wave, but i think, clearly, classic business case is in a more difficult market. you often see consolidation for the very -- at least to take some -- get some costing efficiencies in the business.

>> how will the at&t time warner deal impact your business, for example? >> well, it remains to be seen. at&t, obviously, a very powerful company adding these very powerful brands. i think it will all depend on what they agree with the government in terms of how they are going to operate going forward. maria: do you think they should sell either cnn or directv? >> i'm not involved enough to know what the regulators would do. i do think in general in this country, we have many fabulous companies that in their sector go beyond media or even beyond telecom. in their sector have become very powerful, and it is something that regulators and policy makers have to look at on a regular basis because when companies become too big and powerful, it can choke off new business development and job creation and what have you. maria: so you recently added to some of your print portfolio, whether it's the men's health and those

magazines or newspapers. do you think we're going to physically be looking at a newspaper to get our news in ten years? >> ten years is a long time. hard to say. >> five years. >> absolutely. >> yes? >> absolutely five years, and i hope longer. i still prefer print if i can get it. our newspaper group is looking like they will deliver their sixth straight year of profit growth. so i am still bullish on newspapers and magazines. but, look, clearly, it's a tougher environment and digital is on the rise and print is clearly not rising. maria: let me ask you about the policy in washington. does it impact your business? >> i think that for business in general, the corporate tax cut is very important, and i give credit to the business roundtable jamie diamond and josh bolton got in the business community together to say that this is our highest priority.

corporate tax cut, the ability to repatriate earnings overseas and going to a territorial system is very, very important. and i think there's actually bipartisan support for that. it gets more complicated when you get onto the individual side. and, clearly, more work to be done there. we're a new york company. the talk about eliminating the state and local tax deduction is very painful for new york, and we're hopeful that something can be done there. maria: my thanks to steve schwartz joining us there.....
