4:03 pm
the drugmaker. the downside? wynn resorts has been a stellar. accusations against owner steve wynn which he is calling preposterous. back to you nice. melissa: nicole, thank you. david: president trump taking a victory lap in davos before today's big high, telling the crowd these gains would not have happened under a different commander-in-chief. take a listen. >> had the opposes party to me won, some of whom you backed, some of the people in the room, instead of being up almost 50%, the so market is up since my election almost 50%. the stock market from that level, the initial level, would have been down close to 50%. let. david: let's bring in today's
4:04 pm
panel. jack hough and carol roth. not only we would have not had the extraordinary rally but if hillary won we would be 50% behind where we started year-and-a-half ago. >> france, russia, poland, south korea, greece, a list of mile long of shares moving up since election day. trump is making them all great again. david: hold on a second, jack. you've making an interesting point. actually the head of the imf made, who said at davos, he is not a big fan of donald trump as you know, he said the tax cuts are going to help global growth, the tax cuts here will help global growth. >> we are up a few points ahead of the world stock market. so i will give trump credit for those few points. that is on tax cuts. i'm going to say if hillary clinton won we would be 5% points behind where we are right now. david: i don't know about that. even democrat byron wien, he
4:05 pm
said, had a piece out today, in fact he sees this rally continuing the next year-and-a-half. >> i think that could be the case. it is certainly, i love the fact that president trump ascribes to hyperbole is the best thing ever. reality the approach to fiscal policy really does bush, added something to already great market. we have low inflation. we have low interest rates. we have growth around the world, but reality of the situation is if we didn't have that optimism, we didn't have consumer spending, didn't have all the things coming from the additional boost that we're getting from trump's fiscal policy, we wouldn't be in the position that we're in. david: jack, the bottom line, we have a president who is a businessman. we have a president whose cabinet is filled with businessmen, like wilbur ross, like linda mcmahon. hillary is cut basically from the same cloth as president obama in terms of having
4:06 pm
suspicion about business rather than celebrating it. >> let me tell you what my favorite number. you can decide how much credit trump gets. he gets some. my favorite number 81% of companies earnings season beating on revenues. anybody can tweak earnings. when it is beating on revenues, you're flat-out doing more business. david: the question ask why? i would suggest carol, without the deregulatory policies we had, without appointment of judges and officials in the white house, pro-business, rather than anti-business we wouldn't have had these record numbers. >> 100%. you can't tax your way to prosperity, the incentives created in the trump administration have effect all the way around. consumer spending was a really big number that. all those things are effect of having trump as president. if hillary had been president i don't think we would have seen that level of optimism, that level of investment. it wouldn't have the growth we're having.
4:07 pm
>> i think my hair is coming thicker on the top, david. that might be a bit of a trump effect. david: carol, jack, good last word, jack. i like that. have a good weekend. melissa. melissa: open for business, president trump's america first message on to the world's elite stage today, while assuring summit of leaders that america first does not mean america alone. blake burman live in davos, switzerland with latest there. how was he received, blake? reporter: that was one of the big questions, this america first policy, melissa, how exactly would it be received the president said look, america first as you said does not mean america alone but he also said his top priority is the country, companies, and american workers. the president though also tried to sell that the u.s. is undergoing an economic success story and ready to do new business. >> i'm here to deliver a simple message. there has never been a better time to hire, to build, to
4:08 pm
invest and to grow in the united states. america is open for business and we are competitive once again. reporter: the president woke up in davos to a report in the "new york times" that said he tried to fire robert mueller last summer but backed off. however sources tell fox the conversation was more as a what if scenario with the president's advisors. here in davos this morning the president denied that report. >> mr. president, did you seek to fire mueller? >> fake news, folks, fake news. one of "new york times" fake stories. reporter: right now the president is aboard air force one. he is headed back home to washington. when he lands, he has a whole lot ahead of him, he has to prepare for the state. union address on tuesday. undoubtedly preparing for that over the weekend. there is this huge immigration
4:09 pm
debate ongoing aboard air force one, president is tweeting about chuck schumer. melissa. melissa: there you go, blake. thank you. here is steve forbes, forbes media chairman, ma harf. both fox news contributors. hard to talk down money. shows up in davos. other countries see america expanding. there are more customers her brg your businsere. the tax clima is betr, regulatorylimates bette even ceo who didn't like him before he to admit things are going better. he got a warmer reception than anyone expected. what do you think? no i think the fact as you referred to earlier, he said america first but america not alone. america is not going to be alone. he welcomed business coming into the united states. more importantly with that tax bill, there are real benefits now coming to the united states than there was before. you will see not only patetry
4:10 pm
ages of billions of dollars from american companies and you will see step up investment for productive reasons for foreign companies coming into the u.s. there are more prospects here and safer prospects here than around the world. two big things happened. one he backed off what his secretary of the treasury wanted to talk down the dollar. trump repudiated that yesterday which is a good thing. trump saying come here to america, he made it clear he does not want a trade war. melissa: marie, what is your response to that? >> i think this was a good audience for the president. these are ceos from major corpses. clearly the message he brought about the economic upturn here in the united states was well-received one. i give him credit for that. i think there are two places though we haven't focused on aren't as positive. one is on the situation regarding our trade agreements. you had canada and asian countries this week saying we'll move ahead on tpp without the united states. so what will that mean back here
4:11 pm
at home? and then of course the non-economic issues. the north koreas of the world, the syria, the iran, those issues are part of the conversation at davos. they're not the majority of it. they are part of it, i'm not sure other world leaders got from him how america first fits into some of those multilet ral issues. melissa: steve, what about that on tpp? let's attack that problem first? >> the president modified in his position he made it clear in the past he likes bilateral agreements. he not averse to regional agreements or multi-country deals, that is escape hatch that is huge. he will go in if he will get a good deal. this rhetoric he will not have trade deals. yes a lot of countries are negotiating trade deals, 35 at last count, he made it clear now the u.s. will are part of it he will do better than thinks of his predecessors. i thought that was a major move in the right direction.
4:12 pm
melissa: marie, what is wrong with that? >> we'll see if anything comes to fruition here. he took this big trip to asia a few months ago, where he said we'll start bilateral negotiations and vietnam and others didn't seem excited. when we were negotiating so long on tpp the proof is in the pudding here. he has a way to get out of some of his past rhetoric on this i'm not sure how much of a focus. he is coming back. he has to deal with immigration. they want to talk about infrastructure which will take up a lot of time. this was a good moment for the president but coming back to a washington with a lot of landmines. melissa: steve, marie, thank you very much. david: we have debate with steve and as you stan. ford owners say the suv is making them sick. what the automaker is saying about this.
4:13 pm
melissa: 200 corporations joining now the 250 passing along tax cut windfalls to their employees but democratic leaders are still finding fault. steve forbes sounding off on this along with former economic advisor austan goolsbee. david: just crumbs. crumbs. melissa: can't talk down money. david: president trump jumping back into the battle over immigration, meeting democrats more than halfway on the daca issue. will democrats meet him halfway to get the deal done? not looking that way from some of their responses. take a listen. >> we will defend our citizens and our borders. we are also securing our immigration system as a matter of both national and economic security. ooooooh snap!! every truck guy has their own way of conveying powerful.

4:17 pm
unveiled. the white house revealing a new proposal outlining a deal that would allow the so-called dreamers to stay offering pathway for citizenship in exchange for border wall funding. here to break it all down is adam shapiro. reporter: hey, david. we did hear from the administration. as you pointed out there is a deal on the table. 1.8 million "dreamers," and others not part of "the dream act." they would be allowed to work toward citizenship over 10 to 12 year period as president trump and administration proposing. 25 billion in border wall spending and end what we now know as chain migration system, allow immediate relatives and child to come here. here is what senator chuck schumer with the administration put on the table. he tweeted quote, as we've been urging him for months the president put pen to paper to show where he stand on immigration. unfortunately plan flies in the
4:18 pm
face of what most americans believe. schumer went on to say while president trump final acknowledged the "dreamers" should be allowed to say here to become citizens he uses them as a tool to tear apart our legal immigration system and adopt the wish-list that anti-immigration hard-liners advocated for years. president trump also responded to that tweet. he put out a message saying, daca has been made increasingly difficult by the fact that crying chuck schumer took such a beating over the shutdown he is unable to act on immigration. you know the president was in davos while all of this was flying back and forth but here is what the president had to say about this. >> america is a cutting-edge economy but our immigration system is stuck in the past. we must replace our current system of extended family chain migration with a merit-based system of admissions. reporter: so essentially what
4:19 pm
you have is the administration's bottom line, according to people here on capitol hill who expect there will be a negotiation. what the senate actually votes on, mitch mcconnell, david, promised a vote the week of febrry 5th in the senate immigration,t will be mething that looks like the what the administration proposed and something else the democrats want if they find some kind of consensus to meet somewhere in the middle. david: good luck to them. adam, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: democrats fighting back, democrat luis gutierrez that the immigration proposal is ransom for "dreamers" and doesn't pass the laugh test. dick durbin says hard-line immigration agenda on the backs of these young people. here is jamie weinstein, host of the jamie weinstein podcast and. i love your tweet about this. advice, democrats, take yes for an answer. >> seems like there's a lot of hyperbolic rhetoric going on for
4:20 pm
a pretty decent proposal from the president. some democrats, some liberal activists have called this a wish-list of white supremacists. you have read some of the things where this is hard-line immigration wish-list. some should tell to the hard-line immigration people who are very angry what the president put out. marker corian, famous heads of hard-line immigration think tank, asked people to follow them on twitter, send the make america great again hats, video of that, lighting them on fire. that is how upset he is. ann coulter is not happy with this this is not radically anti-immigration proposal whatsoever. the democrats should be fairly happy with what is put on the table. one thing i could see them upset about, does go beyond what the president asked for at that famous on tape immigration meeting, that this is a more comprehensive immigration proposal than he was suggesting we do in the first step. this seems like a second step
4:21 pm
type proposal, but this is hardly a radical proposal he put on the table. democrats should embrace it. melissa: if you're going to be, in any negotiation if you're first one to say the number, start the bidding you have to go very big and very far beyond what it is you hope to get. of course there is a lot more in there. but, he also offered more to "dreamers" than mere, they ever thought he would land. >> absolutely. melissa: he is starting at a place that is very big on all fronts. so, you know, i mean there will be interesting -- how do you think we've seen democrats sort of respond? what do you think they do from there? he put them back in the position of you're going to say no, now you're going to say no to "the dreamers." i offered them a, and now you're saying no. >> there is compromise, exactly, chain migration is racist policy. that is jeb bush's position. he was for restricting some chain migration, making it a merit-based system.
4:22 pm
rhetoric is over the top. the problem is both side, some parts of republican party and especially what we're seeing in democrats are using this as wedge political issue for the election. if they want to use it as a wedge political issue as opposed to solving the problem, well that's fine i guess. the people who will suffer here are actually "dreamers" around those who are really scared they might be deported from a country they have been here for a long time and don't even know the home country they might be deported to. melissa: yeah. >> that is what is going on here as people using it as wedge political issue. not solving it for people really suffering, the "dreamers" there are using as political prop. melissa: jamie, you're wonderful. >> thank you for having me. david: they were giving, the president plans gives so much more to the "dreamers" democrats ever said they wanted. exextrordinary. melissa: yeah. david: how one army veteran turn ad democrat as partial boycott

of a state of the union address to a ticket for himself. they were lost. now they have been found. details on the new fbi messages that could prove bias against then candidate donald trump. chris farrell, "judicial watch" head of investigation, sounding off coming next. >> now we know the fix was in. i think the logical thing if the fix was in on the clinton investigation and then these same people, top people at the fbi started and ran the trump russia investigation, might there be some bad things going on there as well? ♪

4:27 pm
there loaded for bear. joining me now is chris farrell, director of investigations and research at "judicial watch." chris, let me start with the way the media has been covering or hasn't been covering this. to them all this is distraction from the real story which is collusion between russia and trump. to which you say what? >> baloney. this is a case where we have their own word, their own text messages in black and white, where they clearly are conspiring with one another, and with others in a circle that they refer to as a secret society and they are actively seeking to attack the constitution and the president. david: what they are -- let's be specific, what they are conspiring to do, using your word, is to keep hillary out of jail and donald trump out of the white house, right? >> that is exactly correct and so there is no wiggle room here. it is their words, their language, their communications in black and white.
4:28 pm
i have yet to see anyone who can articulate to me what the criminal predicate is to the so-called russia russia investigation. no one can tell you what crime was committed. no one. david: the thing is, actually it was rush limbaugh made a great point today. he said since there is no evidence of collusion between trump and russia, trump has to prove that he didn't do it. that is he has to prove a negative, which of course you can't do. so they keep hitting on this theme that he has to prove that there was no collusion. you could do that forever, right? >> yeah. proving a negative is extraordinarily difficult. it is frankly, just like the idiocy of the last 24 hours where people are saying trump was thinking about or tried to fire mueller in june. says who? he has denied it. any communications or any contingencies thinking about that are all privileged. some people in the media are
4:29 pm
trying to report a negative. something that didn't happen. it is like reporting that we did not, you know, nuke north korea. david: that's right. >> it's a non-event and reporting it as something that actually did happen. david: well, yet, this story is getting far more attention and far more press at least during this week than any of the information coming out of the fbi. >> yeah. and look, in this case, there is a very grave threat to our constitution and to our electoral process. we now have documentation from these fbi agents, one fbi attorney that also points at all sorts of other directions. it has everything to do with hillary clinton email server, this ridiculous russian dossier, an effort to what they refer to as an insurance policy. you know, if you took the exact same model and instead of having it take place at the department of justice, you lifted it, moved
4:30 pm
it over to the pentagon. it was the defense department we were talking about, and there were senior officials doing and saying the things that these doj officials you would call it a coup d'etat. david: absolutely. chris, they're giving me a wrap but just one quick question. will we ever see the memo republicans were making a lot of noise about last week so far the department of justice refused to release or declass pie? >> i hope president trump reads it in his state of the union address. david: wow, wouldn't that be something. >> tell us what is really going on. david: he has the authority to do it, he has the authority to declassify it. do you think he will, quickly? >> it is my great hope that he does that. melissa: that would be pretty impressive. david: wouldn't that be interesting. melissa: that's right. new record highs for all three major averages today. that makes 11 for the dow in january, that is the most during the month of january since 1994 and it is 11 for the, i'm sorry, 14 for the s&p. the most in any month since of
4:31 pm
1955. nasdaq closing above 7500 for the first time ever. a lot of records. a lost winning. david: it is a lot of winning. not tired, a little nervous but not tired. hard to argue that the economy is not in great shape but should the credit go to president trump or his predecessor barack obama? melissa: plus are all the bonuses and increase of 401(k) matches really crumbs to average americans? steve forbes and austan goolsbee will respond. that's next. >> there is a lot of money for people making a living doing whatever they may be doing. really thought february 1st it was going to kick in and everybody was going to be -- well we haven't seen gotten there yet and it kicked in. ♪ plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital,
4:32 pm
but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

4:36 pm
chairman is back with us, along with austan goolsbee, former obama economic advisor. austan, go to you first. does the president deserve any credit for this? >> you just changed it to any credit. previously you said he deserves all the credit or merely moist of the credit. david: put it in your words. don't show me. >> come on, are you kidding? when barack obama took office, the gdp was shrinking at a minus 8.9% annual rate. we were losing50,000 -- 850,000 jobs a month. barack obama leaves. donald trump takes over. donald trump inherits of lowest unemployment rate of incoming president in half a century, so your answer is no. he doesn't deserve any credit. >> 75 months of job growth in a row. we have had twelve under trump. that is great. david: what i'm taking from you, he deserves maybe a tiny smidgen of credit, right? >> for not messing it up. david: for not messing it up.
4:37 pm
steve, coming out of last recession we had, which is a bad recession, we had the least-impressive growth rate in history coming out after recession. for seven or eight years. we have not had a period since the great depression where the economy never grew more than 3% in one year s that a record that donald trump just built on or is he responsible for turning that around and springboarding us into what we have now? >> i think he gets credit for taking this economy going from a 25 miles-an-hour up to 40, 50 miles an hour with prospect of even higher speed. the recovery from the recession was the most punk recovery in american history. every time you have had a big downturn before you always get sharp upturn. the question becomes can you sustain it. this time we never got a big bump upwards. it was punk recovery. what trump has done in terms of regulation, which is great burden on the economy, tax cut, already bringing more capital investment and more money coming in from overseas investing in

the united states. court system that is not going to be anti-business. all of that is contributed to what john may nerd keynes called great animal spirits. the spirits are positive. david: austan, you don't say his poll is did anything regarding growth over past year? >> i want to clarify what is the animal that is giving us the animal spirits? the growth rate of the recovery was about 2.2% under barack obama. which is under three. the growth rate in 2017 was 2.3%. >> it was 2.5, the dynamism. david: hold on a second as you stan. go ahead, steve. >> the dynamism is upwards. even in the fourth quarter. >> sure is. >> even in the fourth quarter you had growth in capital expenditures. growth in consumer spending. to bodes well for 2018. david: getting rid of 22 regulation for each new regulation i think had something to do with it. >> fewer jobs this year.
4:39 pm
david: nancy pelosi doubling down on her claim that middle class gains from tax cuts just amount to crumbs. take a listen. >> david: steve, just today we head next he had spending a lot of money raising salaries of employees, on giving bonuses because of tax cuts. also honwell. would you call 1000-dollar bonus crumbs? >> marie antoinette would also known as nancy pelosi. for most people that is real money right away. instead of waiting for the recovery to get better. companies are dishing out money now. all to the good. what you will see in the future, david, key thing to look out for is new business formations which has been terrible in recent
4:40 pm
years. that has been the dynamism of the american economy in the past. that will start to pick up. that bodes very well for the future. david: but, austan, explains how out of touch some of these people in congress are. democrat or republican, the point is, i had dinner the other night with a single mother. dinner other night with single mother who said $1000 allows her an extra bag of grocery every other week. that is important to her and it millions of americans. >> look, there is no doubt about it. i would like $1000. that is an inartful choice of words at best to call that crumbs. david: she doubled down on it. she said it again today. >> i think the idea that i, and look, i applaud, when i was in the obama administration, i was for finding ways to reduce the corporate rate. if we increase business formation and change what has been a 20, 30 year trend downward i think steve is totally right, that would be great. the one thing i would highlight here however, this bill costs about $2 trillion. and what we're seeing with these bonuses is that the firms are
4:41 pm
passing on less than 4% of what they got in tax cuts to their workers. david: steve, go ahead. answer that. >> he said it would be 50%. nothing like that. >> this is right off the top. $1000 right off the top with more to come. more business investment, means higher salaries in the future. that is all to the good. and so instead of waiting for the investments to pay off, they're starting to give workers more right from the beginning. and you will start to see salaries go up again at a more healthy pace. we certainly have in the last generation. david: by the way, not just bonuses. a number of companies including jpmorgan and walmart have increased the minimum wage to about $6,000 a year. that is what it adds up to for 30,000-dollars a year salary. 6,000-dollar raise is a lot more than crumbs, right, austan? >> i think that is more than crumbs. it's a very small percentage of what those firms got. they have announced these to be
4:42 pm
