joining us on this president's day we appreciate it. the markets will of course be open again tomorrow. that's it for our time here, david asman, lauren simonetti will be taking away now after the bell. >> well the markets are closed on this president day but fbn is open for business as you notice unlike another network. leland:s take a look at the futures, things slidely ahead of tomorrow's opening bell dow futures down 59 points i'm lauren simonetti in for melissa fran since. >> deirdre: i'm david asman, great to see you all after the bell as stocks wait for tomorrow here is what's happening right now. a bureau under fire, any moment now president trump will depart palm beach, florida making his way back to the white house after igniting a firestorm on social media. the commander-in-chief slamming the ongoing crisis with the fbi the ignored tips, botched investigations and allegations of political bias new details on

how the agency failed to act on multiple warnings about the florida high school shooting suspect and the president's claim that the russia investigation got in the way. plus, justice for innocent lives taken way too soon. nikolas cruz appearing in court this afternoon, the latest on where the investigation stands right now. >> but president trump is getting ready to depart palm beach florida en route back to washington d.c. as blame is mounting on the fbi after multiple signals were missed ahead of the deadly florida shooting. blake burman live in d.c. with the very latest from the president, hi, blake. >> hi lauren and president trump over the weekend did not specifically mention christopher wray by name instead he talked about the institution as a whole , about this missed phone call from last month questioning why it was not forwarded along. the president tweeting over the weekend "very sad that the fbi missed all of the many signals sent out by the florida school

shooter. this is not acceptable. they are spending too much time trying to prove russia collusion with the trump campaign and there is no collusion get back to the basics and make us all proud." here at the white house today they were asked a spokesperson was and would not say whether or not they feel wray should resign which the florida governor rick scott has called for but the white house saying president trump at this point is supportive at looking into sur ing up the federal background check system. >> you have the phone call to the fbi and so when you're looking at ways to fix this system you want to look at measures like fixing the background check system and also want to understand what broke down and allowed for this individual to go on unattended while other people were raising red flags? >> you saw in that tweet how the president brought up russian meddling there were multiple tweets over the weekend from the president about this in fact he just sent out another one in which he wrote "obama was president up to and beyond the 2016 election so why didn't he

do something about russian meddling"? there are of course questions and criticisms about this president and how much he wants to do with the intelligence chief testified up on capitol hill last week they have not yet received a direct command from the president to look into russian meddling. david, lauren back to you. >> so much to look into blake at the white house thank you so much. >> deirdre: here to react to the fbi fallout, bill gavin, a former fbi assistant director. bill it was friday we got that bombshell statement from the head of the miami unit of the fbi. let's just listen to that and get your reaction. >> the fbi released a statement regarding information provided to our public access line on january 5 of this year. the caller provided information about nikolas cruz, the potential of him becoming a school shooter. under protocol this information should have been provided to the miami field office.

there appropriate steps would have been taken. the fbi has determined that protocol was not followed. >> deirdre: bill when you heard that, your heart must have sunk. >> it sure did, david, i was embarrassed, the fbi itself was embarrass, and there is no way to make up for that with the horror that occurred as a result of this young man killing all these people. >> deirdre: well bill specifically, if the call had been made to the miami bureau and if they had gone to investigate all this what would have happened? could the shooting have been avoided? >> that's very difficult to say, david. i don't know if it could have been avoided certainly if the lead went into the sic in miami and he sent agents out at least to talk to this individual to see what the problem was, go to the school talk to the school do they have a problem there talk to students that would have been done, but could they have obtained any kind of a search

warrant? that would all be subject to vague ares of the united states attorney office down there to determine whether or not they had probable cause to look at his computers but the bottom line is it was a horrible event not to have been picked up by whoever is responsible at the center for receiving these tips, and not analyzing it and sending it out immediately to the fbi in miami. that was will be forever a sorrowfull for that and it's out in the open we were transparent about it but that doesn't satisfy anything. >> well governor scott says of course nothing will satisfy a horror like this but governor scott says the director of the fbi wray should be fired as a result of this, what do you think of that? >> i think that's probably a little bit over-the-top. i understand the emotional aspect david but firing director wray over something that happened probably without i know without his knowledge and he's

done everything to rectify it, i'm sure the appropriate measure s are in place and it doesn't happen again, they probably changed some of the protocol, but fire director wray just doesn't make sense to me. >> now the president spoke to this and he kind of linked the shooting to the mueller investigation. i just want to put up a tweet that he put out this weekend ong many oerth he said "very sad ttha the fbi misse all of the many signals st out by the florid shooter. this is not acceptable. they are spending too much time trying to prove russian collusion with the trump campaign. there is no collusion." are they distracted? is the fbi distracted by the russia investigation? >> i'm sure that the president of the united states fully understands that the 3700 or 37,000, a whole bunch of people in the fbi, i'm sure that he also realizes that there is no distraction from doing of the

all of our investigations, all of the investigations in the fbi , it doesn't doing what they're doing in conjunction with the collusion and with the robert mueller is not detracting from what they do on an every day basis but i fully understand what he has to say and why he said it. >> we always try to mention this , the fact that he got a bad shake over the past seven or eight years, it's time that we stood up for leland despite these awful mistakes that were made that are in excusable i think somebody should pay overall the agency still does a good job. it's not an agency without any direction right now is it? >> thanks, david i appreciate that kind and you're right it isn't. 99.99% of the people are doing an outstanding job. when you have a horrible event like this, and somebody doesn't do the right job, it just

exacerbates and magnifies the horror of the whole thing and there is no excuse. we often, i don't think the bureau is offering any excuse to a tone for this. it happened and it was wrong to happen and they've been transparent about it and they're doing everything to remedy it but what i think what we have to do as a country is determine how do we address this whole problem of mental instability among our citizens of this country. we have to do something. you're so good you agreed to stick around we appreciate you being hearings bill, lauren? >> well the tech titans are in focus the special counsel investigation into the russian meddling 2016 presidential election shedding light on the role of the biggest names in social media, hillary vaughn live in los angeles following that story for us, hi hillary so what is the latest? >> hey lauren, well facebook was mentioned 41 times in this indictment but they weren't the only tech company called out, twitter, youtube even pay pal listed in the 37-page document

so now social media companies are making changes to prep for the midterm election in 2017. secretaries of states across the nation gathered in d.c. this weekend for their winter meeting to talk election security along with facebook, secretary of state dennis miller, denise merr il was the president during the 2016 election and she says voter fraud and hackers aren't the biggest threat to election security. >> but its come through to me also that the biggest threat is not from any of this election process or cybersecurity issues. the biggest threat seems to be from the american public believ ing the many false stories that were told out there during the last elections. >> facebook director policy also attended that meeting telling election officials that facebook is cracking down on political ad buyers to make sure they're living in the u.s. and at the heart of this big strategy, any ad buyer who wants to advertise

in a federal rate will be mailed a postcard with a code they need to enter in order to make an ad buy and now while facebook is making changes their vice president of ads pushing back on the idea that russian ads were a big player during the 2016 election goldman tweeting most of the coverage of russian meddling involves their attempt to affect the outcome of the 2016 election i've seen all the russian ads and i can say that swaying the election was not the main goal. he continues to say that the majority of russian ad spend happened after the election saying we shared that but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn't align with the main media narrative of trump at the election now twitter saying the fight against election-focused propaganda is a shared responsibility and they think law enforcement needs to lead that charge. lauren? >> hillary vaughn thank you so much you've teed me up perfectly for bill gavin, who has been sticking around. bill you just heard hillary's report. what can we done to make sure

there is a strong likelihood that the russians meddling again in the midterms and of course 2020. what did law enforcement do? >> lauren it's a complex problem with a complex solution. first of all when mr. goldman says it wasn't the main goal of the russians to interfere with an election, i guess you can see that it was a goal. when did he determine that it was a goal and what did he do about it? that's a question that's still up in the air. and what can be done in the future, i think more attention from the social media, for social media itself for the leaders of the organization bringing those things that disturb them to the attention. send them postcards everything, that's it is what it is but i'm not too sure it's going to be totally effective to stop some perpetrator from doing what they want to do with ads still. they may say one thing and do another as many people do. >> it's an old school way to deal with a modern problem in

essence and you can always get, you know, a fake local address anyhow. to get back to the point, i understand and i think the american people understand that any other country meddling in our political system to create discord is wrong and bad and a big deal, but if you can just perhaps quantify how big of a deal this is, and i'm asking in light of a couple of things. if you look at how much money these russian-paid actors spent on social media advertisements, we're talking about thousands of dollars a month, where the campaigns whether it be the clinton or the trump campaign they spent almost $2.5 billion, so how big of a deal is this in influencing our politics? >> you know, i think it's very difficult to measure it. i don't know what the yardstick is that you'd use to measure the influence that it has because it's so subjective when it goes out over-the-air and when it gets americans to participate in

an ad campaign that they think originates in america, it's very deceitful at worst and how much it influences i don't know but what i can say is that the investigation being conducted by mueller and the committee, it just goes to show what is being done, is the right thing to be done because they have issued subpoenas convened a grand jury and indicted a whole bunch of people in three corporations. if this had been done in other cases in particularly the server case with hillary clinton and it was left to agents to bring it before a grand jury convened by the united states attorney and subpoenas issued r for people to come and tell the truth, tell a lie or take the fifth we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today in terms of this whole with hillary's server so it just shows that when the right thing is done the right results will take effect. >> noted.

noted and just going back to the social media companies for a moment here. do you think educating the citizens will help in making sure that misinformation isn't spread so easily? >> i don't know how we would do that, you know, it would take one heck of an educational endeavor and i really don't know who would start there, where it would come from, who gets to be gored out of that kind of an educational process. >> bill, thank you so much. my pleasure lauren thank you so much. >> and as ku see from that shot, that's from palm beach, they are preparing air force one for the president i believe one of those cars with the flags in the front has the president inside and he is embarking for a trip to washington d.c. back to the white house. cameras are kept a little further away than usual during this particular trip back home for the president.

meanwhile, a warning to president trump on russia. rush limbaugh's words of caution to the commander-in-chief why he's telling the president to be very careful while he tweets. >> plus, the fall out on the midterm elections and the gop is setting on a secret weapon trying to can it tallize on the unpop you lauer it of nancy pelosi? can the republicans hold on to the majority? >> and money for nothing how one u.s. city is getting ready to test something called universal basic north korea, hundreds of dollars handed out to citizens, just for being alive. yea, so, mom's got this cold #stuffynose #nosleep i got it... #mouthbreather

>> the worst thing he could do in his world is to validate this

whole investigation by claiming victory here because what if down the road there is another indictment or a series of indictments that do name trump or do name the russians and trump campaign colluding because that's what this is about. this is about getting trump, chris. this whole thing is about setting trump up for impeachment if the democrats win in 2018, this donald trump remains in the crosshairs. he is the target and there is no letup in that. david: a lot to unpack in that statement rush limbaugh warning president trump not to claim victory offer special counsel robert mueller's indictment of 13 russians released friday his indictment stated that there was and i'm quoting him now, mueller now, "no allegation in this indictment that any american had any knowledge of russian election meddling." here is john decker fox news radio white house correspondent thanks for joining us on this holiday john. what do you think of rush

limbaugh's warning? >> well he raises a really good point. the risk for the president, the risk for anybody on his team claiming that this mueller indictment which was announced on friday is a vindication of the entire investigation. i think puts the president and his team on a slippery slope, because as rush limbaugh points out in that sound bite that you just played it's down the road. mueller decides based upon evidence to indict the president or anybody close to the president on his team here at the white house. they already have the president on record saying that robert mueller as it relates to this indictment of these 13 russian nationals is doing a very good job. david: yeah, but you know, what about the other point that rush makes that the brass ring for democrats is impeachment if they take over the house, of course the house can impeach it's the senate that has to try and it's a tougher road for democrats to take over the senate but if they take over the house there's going to be an impeachment what do you think? >> i have no doubt there are

some members of the house even the senate that would very much like to bring articles of impeachment against this president, but you need something there. the constitution talks about high crimes and misdemeanors. have we seen anything like that related to the president yet? no, we haven't, but mr. mueller continues his investigation. remember, with bill clinton back in the 90s when the house brought articles of impeachment against bill clinton they had something to go on with the star investigation. there was some wrongdoing that mr. star alleged took place on the part of the then president, namely lying under oath. nothing like that has been brought by robert mueller yet against this president. david: you know there was something else in the mueller indictment on friday that was kind of interesting it showed how deeply our investigative units whether it was the c cia or fbi we're not sure a combination were investigating these russians long before the election itself. that led donald trump to tweet this out this afternoon.

he said obama was president up to and beyond the 2016 election, so why didn't he do something about russian meddling? he's got a point doesn't he? >> he does have a point you're already seeing some democrats raise exactly the same issue the president raised in this tweet including adam schiff whose the ranking member of the house intelligence committee. president obama perhaps should have done more, but i think he was ultimately very confident that hillary clinton was going to win the 2016 election, no need to go down that road and of course it was after the election that president obama imposed those tough sanctions on the russian government. david: john very quickly one interesting thing is that more activity russian activity took place after the election, including by the way of protest at which michael moore was attending, so i'm wondering if michael moore is part of the russian collusion here? >> well i don't know about that. i know you're making a joke. david: i'm joking i'm joking. >> but as they point out in this

indictment people that were cooperating with the russians were cooperating with the individuals. you can put michael moore in that category. david: john decker, good to see you my friend. thanks a lot david. lauren: we do have breaking news at this moment air force one is taking off from palm beach florida after the president spent the weekend in mar-a-lago. the president making his way back to the white house after, well not only did he celebrate the holiday weekend he did send several tweets. we've been covering throughout the hour. david: he doesn't vacation easily does he? meanwhile protecting our nuclear codes new report detailing an argument over what's called the nuclear football during president trump's visit to china what the secret service is saying about it now retired lieutenant general thomas mcinerney joining us coming up plus the suspected florida shooter appearing in court earlier today. we have a live update from

lauren: florida school shooting suspect nikolas cruz appearing in court this afternoon there he is there. the judge ordering cruz to be present at the hearing to decide how much of his case should be sealed to the public. joining us now with the very latest, outside the courthouse in parkland, florida fox news correspondent steve harrigan. steve what is the latest on the situation? >> reporter: this is really the first look that we got at the shooter live in court, 19-year-old nikolas cruz, five foot seven just 130 pounds, he looks in the red jump suit

reserved for the most violent offenders, his arms and ankles were shackled but this is the man suspected of firing off more than 100 rounds on wednesday in less than three minutes killing 17 people, 14 students three administrators and wounding more than a dozen. he has been in solitary confinement and also been on suicide watch according to the sheriff here. they have is on him at all times so far, his public defender says he is likely to plead guilty to 17 counts of first degree murder this the attorney says would be an attempt to try and avoid the death penalty. as far as the mood and the situation on the streets, it is really a mix. on the one hand there is funeral after funeral. four yesterday, three today, two more tomorrow, and around those are often viewings or wakes, so some students are simply too stunned by what has happened to really make sense of it but others are moving forward and moving forward politically trying to harness or channel some of that anger and grief. there have been a number of anti -gun rallies over the

weekend with more to come. some of the survivors of the attack plan to lead a major national demonstration for gun control in washington on march 24. lauren and david back to you. lauren: we just saw the images there and it really just puts it all in perspective, keith thank you very much. david: so nice work if you don't have to actually work for it. one california town is about to test something called universal basic income, have you heard about this? how will the experiment actually play out. also, republicans are constantly feuding with nancy pelosi, so why are they now thanking her? you won't believe this, the details comical as they are coming after the break. alerts -- wouldn't you like one from the market when it might be time to buy or sell? with fidelity's real-time analytics, you'll get clear, actionable alerts about potential investment opportunities in real time. fidelity. open an account today. of being there for my son's

winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how.

lauren: republicans gearing up for the midterm elections and they have a secret weapon, nancy pelosi. >> pelosi opposed the deal that she helped negotiate. >> it makes absolutely no sense. >> she did a long eight hour speech on the floor and it really led to last minute drama. >> democrats are paralyzed right now republicans are gearing up to make the midterms all about guess who? nancy pelosi. the campaign on for the house gop was actually cheering her on today. lauren: thanks, nancy here to react, conservative comentator as well as former obama campaign regional field director good to see both of you.

>> good to be here. >> thank you so much. lauren: robin is this a good strategy to basically weaponize nancy pelosi? >> if i were a republican strategist i think it's the best strategy. her name is basically enough to the right and even to some moderates like myself and you know the republicans have really effectively used her name right here i'm from atlanta, georgia and we sunk the campaign by linking him to pelosi they were never even in the same room together but commercial after commercial after commercial calling him a pelosi democrat and that worked. lauren: what do you think kristin? >> well, i mean i tend to agree with robin. that's fascinating. lauren: wow. >> but it was really a serious miss calculation on the part of the democratic party as well as nancy pelosi to do that eight hour speech and then even previous to be apart of shutting down the government. whenever the government shuts down even though it was not for a very long time still the party to blame very much was perceived

throughout the media as the democrats fault and obviously she is the leader of the of opposition party. the interesting thing her favorability ratings are relatively low but really what matters more when you come to the president the midterms are the presidential approval ratings and we've seen those continue to go up but i will say final word here is that a lot can happen between now and november, but especially in this cycle. lauren: the president has anyway indicative of the future this will continue. and a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle say she's so disconnected, i mean if you think of all of the crumbs comments that she made about the tax cuts and bonuses, saying oh, just crumbs, you know, donald trump tweeted this one of his many tweets. great polster, now has the gop up in the generic congressional ballot. big gain over last four weeks. i guess people are loving the big tax cuts giving them by the republicans, the cuts, the dems

want to takeaway, we need more republicans, so robin if you're a democrat and the tax cut and the stimulus is getting more popular, how do you campaign against that? >> it's a tough one, the only thing that i can say is that democrats are pointing out the disparity that of course the bulk of the tax cuts went to the upper brackets and you saw paul ryan recently brag about the lady who was saving $1.50 a week on her paycheck, so you know, we'll try and nuance that and point out the disparity there but the point is that people like nancy pelosi you know her net worth is somewhere around $29.3 million, so for her to call that crumbs, she's just the wrong messenger for that and you mentioned that she's maybe out of touch. well she's from california. she's a liberal from california so i tend to agree with you. lauren: i want to get this in too, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell told the new york times somewhat of a change of heart and he was more

optimistic earlier this year he now expects republicans to lose seats in the house and senate. why do you think that is? >> well historically every single midterm election the party in power will lose seats so it's just a function of politics and also he's probably being cautious because being the senate majority leader understanding his very public position he has to obviously set lower expectations so that when they do come out and possibly gain seats he can celebrate. lauren: just to be fair here he did point out the fundraising obstacle that the gop senate candidates in key states where they're up against democratic incumbents the gop candidates are struggling look at the difference in the numbers over 2 million to 700,000. kristin, robin thank you so much , good to see both of you and for a long day kristin you were on with us earlier this morning. >> thanks lauren. david: good people there and while some business networks are taking the day off did you notice if you did notice and you're watching the wrong channel because fox business is open for business all day. by the way last week the market

pessimists took a beating because the s&p 500 had its best week in more than five years so lauren what's interesting, you mentioned the news cycles. last week, everybody at the beginning of the week was saying oh, my god possess a mix in wall street it's just going to last for, you know, down cycle right now but i think anything could happen in the week to come. lauren: it's funny because we have the best week in five weeks and before that we had the worst week in two years, so the worst week in two years followed by the best week in five years, this is the rollercoaster that we're talking about. david: what's happening with markets is exactly what's happening with washington and everything else the news cycles are just you never know from day-to-day what's going to happen next. lauren: and it moves to 401 (k). nuclear have you heard about this, america's most powerful secrets are in danger of falling into the wrong hands, we have retired lieutenant general thomas mcinerney joining us next to talk about that.

david: a nuclear armed brawl, the website is reporting that a u.s. military aid carrying the nuclear codes was being blocked from following president trump into china's great hall during the president's trip there in november when chief of staff kelly heard about it he approached the chinese guard in a shoving match ensued leading to the usa being allowed into the great hall. the secret service trying to soften the incident tweeted out fact check reports about secret service agents tackling a host nation official during the president's trip to china in november 2017 are false. here now is lieutenant general thomas mcinerney, general you ever heard about anything like this happening before? >> i have not, david, so it surprised me a great deal. david: well as you heard, the secret service is suggesting that general kelly didn't tackle anybody but the story didn't say

that he tackled anybody. i think they're trying to make the best of a bad situation here >> they are. what he did according to the reports i read was he moved out when he heard they were being held up this particular group of aids and assistants was being held up. he immediately went out, went to where he was being held up, told the whole group to move through, and the chinese guard didn't want that to happen and he put his hand up on general kelly who nicely removed it. there are words that secret service then got in a wrestling match but in any case general kelly was on the scene, he was proactive. david: well he's a marine general. he's not air force but he's a marine he doesn't take it but just one quick question. i mean, we make light of it, but it does show perhaps a vulnerability of having all those nuclear codes in one bag

if you're in a semi-hostile country as i think china is, is that a risk? >> well it is a risk but in all honesty the way the protocols are laid out it's covered, they're very careful what they do with it and they've always got people around them a two-man concept et cetera, so the fact is it's one of those acceptable risks that you have to do when you're traveling with the president wherever he is but particularly in an area like china, russia, other places like that. david: by the way i'm sure an air force general would have stepped up to the situation as well it wasn't just kelly but meanwhile, we have rex tillerson the secretary of state making some comments on 60 minutes last night. i want to play the comments and get your reaction. go ahead. >> we're not using the character to convince them to talk we're using large sticks and that is what they need to understand. this pressure campaign is putting is having its bite on north korea. its revenue streams it's having

a bite on its military programs. david: so are the sanctions having a bite on north korea general? >> well, apparently the secretary of state says they are , so i'm going to take him at his word for it. i believe that this administration is going to be much more aggressive because we do not want to go to war with north korea but the fact is we will not accept a nuclear north korea and we can do very severe economic constraints on them, put them on them, to really make them hurt, and i think that's what you're seeing. david: bottom line though excuse me for jumping in b we're running out of time, if there is some kind of military confrontation between north korea and they have any show any signs at all of threatening to use one of their nuclear weapons on south korea or some place else that's an allie of ours, could we stop them before they do it? >> that's the question we don't know. i think we can, i think we could do the things that we have to do

, but that is still unknown right now. david: wow good to see you general thanks for being here appreciate it. lauren? lauren: well free cash, in california. why critics one say one's path to prosperity could actually prevent people from working at all. we'll be right back. experience lexus safety system plus, standard... in the 2018 lexus es, and the es hybrid. take advantage of special president's day offers now through the 28th, on the 2018 es 350. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. mom'#stuffynosecold #nosleep #mouthbreather just put on a breathe right strip it instantly opens your nose... up to 38% more than cold medicine alone go to breatheright.com today to request a free sample.

david: so imagine getting 500 bucks every month just for existing. no strings attached that's exact ly what some people in the town in california will get to experience as part of a test of something called universal basic income. fox news is in stockton th the details. claua? >> reporter: well, david the plan is to give some of stockton 's poorest families as you mentioned $500 a month for a

year to see if that can lift their spirits and put them on a path to prosperity. >> if you get people a base amount that they're receiving regularly, that can really be a handout, that helps them to really gain their own economic success going forward. >> reporter: it is a real world demonstration of universal basic income paying people just for being alive. it's a popular concept in silicon valley amid fears that automation will wipe out jobs, and a tech-based non-profit is funding stockton's cash give away through a $1 million grant, even so critics say pay should be earned and point out basic income is still a form of welfare. some economists say giving out free money to be a disincentive to work but here in stockton which had to declare bankruptcy in 2012 and where one in five residents is statistically poor many residents told us an extra $500 a month would be a big help. >> i would definitely spend it

in my community just so it goes back towards the community maybe buying local, fruits, vegetables >> pay off bills. >> it will help a lot especially for the divorce rate and four children that's a lot of help for me to pay my bills. >> i would actually take my children on a trip to disneyland >> reporter: take the kids to disneyland, why not. the recipients can spend miss money however they like no strings attached many of the finer details have yet to be released like who gets this money and how their spending habits will be tracked at the end of the year-long demonstration we'll hear from the lucky recipients firsthand to find out if the cash was enough to boost their confidence and to go "stockton's poverty as organizers claim and this pilot program gets underway this fall. david: i like that one honest guy who said i'd go to disney land with the kids at least he was one honest guy, claudia thank you very much.

lauren? >> laura: lauren: that would be like one day, a family of four, $530 not including parking i digress let's bring in back conservative comentator and robin former obama campaign regional field director. what do you guys think of universal basic income, good idea kristin? >> well actually, on the broader scale universal basic income is something that conservative economists have also proposed but the concept being when you give universal basic income from the federal government, it's something that eliminates all other welfare programs so all other entitlement programs so you're just giving people that u bi, so it is something that people have proposed with increasing automation and globalization and lower wages people working multiple jobs a way to actually sustain the economy and also enforce another conservative principle which we leave spending time with family building communities that time

can be better spent instead of making minimum wage it can be better invested in family and communities so this is actually something on a broader scale might 10-15 years down the road that we discuss but in this experiment $500 a month extra is not enough to get any real results and as you saw there it's not going to incentive incentivize people to save this money or invest it in a way to help their career. lauren: i like the spin silicon valley puts on this robin, mark zuckerberg has been on the record and said this is a way that you chase your dreams, you'll have a cushion so you can go about and do whatever it is you really want to do. do you buy that or do you think that's a little bit of guilt for the people who create the robots an the artificial intelligence and everything else that basically still are human jobs? >> you know i see exactly where you're going and i came out in full disclosure against this policy when mark zuckerberg did put this out as a nationwide program potentially and he was fielding a potential 2020 run

himself when he was dog the 50 state tour, so i came out against that but i want to say that a study was just released yesterday which i found fascinating because we already sort of have this in alaska with the alaska permanent fund it's a $61 billion program that's funded from oil money and so alaska residents all of them get some form of a basic income off of that and i want to point out that the study released yesterday showed employment went up by 17% and that people actually took on additional employment so i'm curious to see how this experiment goes. lauren: that is a very good point because the way our welfare system works now, if you make too much money, they pullback what you get. if there's no strings attached here, this cohen courage people to work even more and increase employment. >> it absolutely could but at the end of the day it's going to sound like free money to a lot of people. you have to have the personal responsibility, there are skills that have you to have as a person to be able to use that money wisely so it doesn't

matter if you get 500 or 500,000 that money could be gone in two days if you don't know how to handle it. lauren: how much money do you guys think would really be needed to make this work nationwide. robin what do you think? >> oh, my goodness well $500 ain't going to cut the mustard in california i can tell you that much. >> or new york. >> no exactly it's anyone's guess. lauren: economists have thrown around the number about $40,000 a year as something that they've proposed but we're a long way from that at this point. lauren: and silicon valley is going to use their private money to fund that. >> on millions of dollars of cash so apple can -- >> they're putting their money where their mouth is. lauren: good to see you both thank you so much. david: it's insane. it's insane. money is not free. money is not free it's a holder of the work, well anyway -- after dissing president trump on 60 minutes the president challenging oprah to run in 2020
