5:01 pm
that's now giving the democrats headaches, and we debate how critics and allies now up in arms over the president standing soft on trade. we're going to debate whether they got too used to obama's apology tour and we'll show you what's really to blame. hint it's tied to our allies big government spending to the mid-terms to the democrat strategy to seize that control bernie sanders is going after disney chief overworker pay. we're also going to show you the democrats other mid-term strategy that critics are now blasting as really flawed. money, politics we deliver the debate behind tomorrow's headlines in elizabeth macdonald , the evening edit starts right now. liz: first to your money the dow closing 200 points higher to end the day at 24, 635. stocks popping, job growth surging. wages picking up we're going to get to that in just a second but
5:02 pm
first to that letter that got the north korea summit back on track let's get right to fox business washington correspondent, he is blake burman in washington, with the details, blake? reporter: hi liz pretty remarkable what we saw earlier today at the white house inside the oval office for some 80 minutes, the president of the united states sitting behind the desk on the other side the secretary of state mike pompeo, and the number two ranked official within north korea, the right-hand to kim jong-un, kim yong-chol, afterwards the president saying not only is the summit on with north korea in singapore 11 days from now but he was also incredibly bull ish on where things stand in general with the rogue nation. president trump: never said it happens in one meeting, you're talking about years of hostility , years of problems, years of really hatred between so many different nations, but i think you're going to have a very positive result in the end. reporter: think there will be a positive result in the end there were a lot of warm feelings from
5:03 pm
the president after the meeting when he spoke with reporters. he said at one point that he feels that kim jong-un is sincere about denuclearization on the korean peninsula. the president though, also warned at one point that should things go in the other direction , the u.s. is ready with sanctions. president trump: we had hundreds of new sanctions ready to go on, and he did not, the director did not ask and i said i'm not going to put them on until such time as the talks breakdown. we have very significant sanctions on that but we had hundreds, we have hundreds that are ready to go, but i said i'm not going to, why would i do that when we're talking so nicely? reporter: the headline going into this was that kim yong-chol would be delivering a letter from kim jong-un to president trump. we expected that this would only be an interaction that might just last a handful of minutes or so, as i mentioned it went more than an hour, an hour and 20 minutes and afterwards, the
5:04 pm
president even told us, just to give you an idea of how things can change around here, that at least, at the end of the meeting , he didn't even read that letter. president trump: i haven't seen the letter yet. i purposely didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it. i didn't open it in front of the director. i said would you want me to open it? he said you can read it later. i may be in for a big surprise folks. reporter: joked he might be in for a big surprise, by the way liz i was told by a white house official minutes ago that president trump has indeed read that letter now. he's currently at camp david and will be there for the weekend strategizing for what is to come 11 days from now. liz: and he's still optimistic good to see you blake. let's bring in steve hilton former advisor to the uk's david cameron, steve the summit is back on. what do you think of all of this >> i think what this really shows is that on this particular issue, president trump really
5:05 pm
seems to be in his element. he really is in a position where he's doing what he seems to think that he's best at which is negotiating one-to-one with one other party. when you've seen him try and apply those negotiating skills in other areas for example, last year in policy matters from healthcare to a range of other things its been harder for him to bring his skills to the floor because it's not just one-to-one he's negotiating with different factions and congress and so on. this is really where he's deploy ing his skills that he brought to the office and you can see the result. he had the maximum pressure campaign, that brought the north koreans to the table. when it looked like they were going off again, after the meeting with china, he canceled the summit and that brings them back again. it feels like he's really in command of this situation and it's delivering results. liz: you know we're watching media reaction on this, they're saying listen that was north korea's top spy and he was responsible for the sony hack and on the u.s. sanctions list
5:06 pm
that bill clinton met also with a top korean official, nothing came of it. what do you make of their coverage right now? >> well first of all we just got to say that whatever happens that's positive that's bad news for the anti-trump critics, they may say they want the best for america and for the world but really every time that there's a success for this president it undermines their argument that they would be making all along he's not fit to be president and so on so you can't expect anything except acceptance that there's progress and secretly they are all hoping that this fails whatever they say, that's what they want, you'll see this fail. liz: president trump saying he might reveal the letter or not it's debatable whether he should reveal the letter the contents will likely come out but the president also said it would be a mistake if there is no summit what do you think of that? >> i think that's exactly right look the whole world has got to be happy. the talks are going on. it's much better that these leaders are talking than facing off over a potential nuclear
5:07 pm
disaster so any kind of conversation is better than the alternative. liz: what do you think of china it looks like china now maybe helping president trump saying china's president did help quite a bit with the meeting he thinks china would like a positive result. your reaction there. >> i think that's right. the chinese don't want this to go back to the brink. they don't want a nuclear catastrophe on their doorstep any more than anyone else does and i think the president is playing in a really really interesting game here where he's getting the chinese on board with north korea but still he's pushing them on the economic front with technology and trade, and keeping that balance going is going to be very difficult but so far seems to be going well. liz: the president also saying he brought up to the north korean official today that he did not like their countries meeting with russia. your reaction? >> well i think that the russians, by contrast, are not playing a helpful role in this and i think that it's increasingly clear to the president that he can't count on improving the relationship with russia as he wanted to do, seems
5:08 pm
to be having a much more constructive progress with china , and i think that the russians really are putting themselves in a position where they are going to become international outcasts if they try and sabotage this process. liz: u.s. allies let's move on to this subject u.s. allies now criticizing the president's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from canada, mexico and europe. let's listen. >> what they can do, we are able to do exactly the same. it's totally unacceptable that the country is imposing measures >> let me be clear. these tariffs are totally unacceptable. >> we are imposing dollar for dollar tariffs for every dollar levied against canadians by the u.s.. liz: but the president firing back. watch. president trump: they are our allies but they take advantage of us economically and so i agree. i love canada. i love mexico. i love them, but mexico's making
5:09 pm
over $100 billion a year and they're not helping us with our border because they have strzok laws and we have horrible laws. we have horrible border laws. they have strong. they could solve our border problem if they wanted but they don't want to. liz: steve the president also said that canada treats our farmers unfairly. a couple with all of that what do you think of the president's remarks? >> i think he's exactly right and it's high time that this was said with such clarity. it's ridiculous to see these european leaders talking about how free and important fair trade is when for years they've been putting much higher tariffs on u.s. goods going into europe. just look at cars where a u.s. car sold in europe that's got 10% slapped on it whereas a european car sold here is 2.5%. liz: but i think that's all that's happening here, we slap ped a 25% tariff on their trucks but the other thing and you make an important point that's important what you just said but the other thing steve
5:10 pm
that europe does to undercut trade it does a lot of big government spending on big social programs not a lot of defense but that government spending drives the value of its currency down making their goods cheaper on world markets, right? >> exactly. there's a lot of sub id it going on there also to the industry that they want to protect. it's a very cozy system they've got there and so opening all this up and putting it on the table and just asking for level playing field is something they haven't heard for years. that's why they're reacting the way they are but it doesn't mean the president is wrong. in fact it shows he's right. liz: yeah, he's resetting the table and its been a table that's not been reset for a long time and steve, just as a reminder this is how president obama talked about the united states to our allies. let's listen. >> there have been times where americas shown aerogance and been dismissive. the united states is still
5:11 pm
working through some of our own darker periods in our history. we've at times become disengaged and at times we sought to dictate our terms. we have to acknowledge potentially we've made some mistakes. liz: so we're talking about the context here, have our allies just gotten too used to obama's apology tour and now they're thrown by president trump's tough stance. >> that's exactly right and you see it right across-the-board not just on trade but also with respect to military spending, where he's finally calling them out saying look, if you want our protection you're going to have to pay your way and not just rely on us, paying all the bills as has gone on for so long and all these rules all these ways, the ways of behaving and trade and so on, they would set many many years ago before the rise of china, before you had the european union and so on, and it's about time that we had equal and fair relationship and the president is just doing what all these other countries do in
5:12 pm
standing up for themselves and not letting themselves be walked all over. liz: steve great to see you thanks so much for coming on we love having you on come back soon and be sure to catch steve 's show the next revolution on fox news, it's on sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. eastern time next up all three major averages closing the day higher, getting a boost today from that strong may jobs report, topping expectations. let's get right to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the very latest. nicole? nicole: markets took off on the better-than-expected jobs report in fact the dow jones industrial average up 219 points, the nasdac and the s&p 500 also gains and the winners included intel, dow, dupont, cisco, microsoft, apple in fact we had several all-time highs to speak of microsoft, apes netflix we had record closes for facebook and apple as well but the financials were real winners look at goldman sachs, citigroup and jpmorgan all gaining these financials as the 10 year bond
5:13 pm
yield moved higher on better-than-expected news and of course we're expecting rate hikes in june it was a winning week on wall street for the s&p and the nasdac, not the dow jones industrial average back to you. liz: thank you nicole. msnbc now turning a trump tweet into an all-day focus on a conspiracy theory they made up. going so far as to claim that the president's tweet about the jobs report, he did it to tip off his billionaire friends to make money in the market before the jobs number came out. we're bringing in national taxpayer union senior fellow maddie dupler, fired up to take that on joining me next, don't go away. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees.
5:14 pm
fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

5:15 pm
5:16 pm
liz: let's get to that strong jobs report the u.s. adding 223,000 jobs in may,
5:17 pm
unemployment dropping to 3.8% that is the second time it had tipped that low in half a century the last time that happened was in the year 2000 and way back when lbj was in office back in 1969. now the all-in unemployment rate including part-timers dropping to 7.6%, that is the lowest in 17 years, wages rising 2.7% year-over-year and look at this, african american unemployment now at 5.9% that's a historic low the lowest ever on record, democrat consultant doug showen, says that number is a headache for democrats big game changer for trump and the gop tax cuts not even factored into all of this let's bring into national taxpayer's union senior fellow maddie dupler. you know the other stunning number giving democrats headaches, maddie 25 6,000 manufacturing jobs over last year, so that's also a headache for democrats so what's working here? what's behind all of this? >> all of it's working i hate to say it but we actually have a
5:18 pm
government that's listening to the american people when the american people sent donald trump to the white house he knew exactly what for and that was make america competitive again so listen a lot has to do with two main things the de regulatory agenda we're received by the trump adminitration and tax cuts and jobs act and as you mentioned this is really the beginning of the progress we're going to see as the result of the tax cuts being phased in. those job numbers today really really optimistic but we've got a lot to look forward to as businesses continue to adjust to this new competitive tax system. liz: to your point maddie democrats saying they still saying they can fix everything with big government but big box retailer look at the private market what they're doing, costco now raising its minimum wage to $14 an hour and wal-mart giving college tuition. your reaction? >> yeah, two big things today, one is the news from private employers that they're doing things the left only thinks government can do which is improve workers compensation, improve all of the pay that workers get but also you look at the jobs report something that's really important to pay attention to. of all those jobs that are
5:19 pm
created 223,000 new jobs 218 of them are private sector jobs so it's no longer the idea the public sector is the only one that can create jobs. liz: that's a great point, because another jobs report that was the government-creating jobs look at msnbc remember maddie when msnbc said tax cuts would not work but the companies would not give those tax cuts back. watch. >> the market is doing very well because companies are flush with cash and when they reflush with cash they're not paying their employees more doing dividends and stock buybacks this is so dangerous why would republicans want to sell this to the american people? the administration makes the argument when you give corporations these taxes, they're going to create jobs, they're going to give people higher wages. i dispute that point because corporations are flush with cash today and they're not doing that liz: well guess what? there's 6.6 million job openings , so you know businesses have to compete to get qualified workers in. they're raising wages so much
5:20 pm
that the federal reserve is talking about raising rates even more to battle inflation. go ahead take that on. >> yeah, that's exactly right and as wages rise with a competitive economy what we're going to see are businesses starting to use that excess capital and invest it back in their workers. they want workers to be more productive so that means wages continue to go up and we see not only announcements like wal-mart and other employers said today but we see capital investment and businesses starting to invest back into the united states and back in their workers and that's really what impells growth forward as we move into the next couple quarters in 2018 liz: let's move on president trump now being criticized for tweeting about the jobs number before the government released the market moving report this morning the president had already seen the jobs number, when he tweeted out this. "looking forward to seeing employment number thes at 8:30 a.m. this morning and he broke protocol but now this, msnbc turned that tweet into a conspiracy theory without any evidence without any proof they claim that the president tweeted
5:21 pm
and he also phone called his billionaire friends to tip them off in order to make money in the market before that jobs number was coming out let's watch. >> you can rock on it and say these numbers are great and they are. the issue is that the president told the market they were great an hour before it was public. at the absolute worst, he tipped off the market and you will look back on this and see where it started to trade as soon as he put that tweet out and then i'd like to knock-on the door of the sec and say pardon me, sir, did the president of the united states just move markets because if he did that's a big old problem. >> i wonder if the sec also might be looking at some of donald trump's closest friends, billionaires to see their trading patterns. >> he would not be beyond the thought for him to say hey guys, the numbers are 223. >> could donald trump be spout ing this while he's on a golf course, while he's at mar-a-lago? absolutely. we don't have evidence of that.
5:22 pm
liz: okay, this is a conspiracy theory. you know there's no evidence for any of that and their own reporter told them you know there was no unusual trading after the president's tweet. remember he did break protocol but everything they just said, they had no proof for it let's watch with their own reporters now saying. >> in this particular instance, i did go back to check the tape, and there was, yes, a noticeable pickup in volume but not a noticeable pickup in terms of price action. liz: maddie your reaction. >> well for one there's a difference between embargoed and confidential. the press report is embargoed simply because 8:30 is the time it's released but it's all data that happened last month not confidential information. liz: but he did break protocol right? >> for sure, maybe he should lay off the tweeting button but that's an argument a lot of people like. liz: but take on the idea he tipped off and phone called his billionaire friends to make money? >> i think the idea is the other side is losing and they need something to distract from
5:23 pm
a jobs report. liz: wait a second maddie their viewers are watching saying you know what that's fact, that happened. that's what they're telling their viewers, they made speculation conspiracy theory and made like it was a fact. >> i think that's true and problematic but i'll return to the point i made originally which was that americans sent donald trump to the white house for one reason and that's because they wanted their own economic circumstances to improve. looking at these job numbers today that 100% manifest exactly what americans are feeling right now which is that their own personal circumstances are improving. they are richer this year than they were last year, and that's because of donald trump. so msnbc or any other outlet out there can come up with some conspiracy theory, it doesn't change the facts from the ground for real americans. liz: maddie we love having you on come back soon. now let's get to the samantha bee story two advertisers dropping samantha bee after her vulgar anti-woman splore of first daughter ivanka trump. the comedian walking back her apology at a los angeles dinner
5:24 pm
celebrating her achievements in social change. we're bringing in katrina pierson trump 2020 senior campaign advisor she's fired up all ready to take that on coming up after this. man: i got scar tissue there. same thing with any dent or dings on this truck. they all got a story about what happened to 'em. man 2: it was raining, there was only one way out. i could feel the barb wire was just digging into the paint. man: two bulls were fighting, (thud) bam hit the truck. try explaining that to your insurance company. woman: another ding, another scratch. it'll just be another chapter in the story. every scar tells a story, and you can tell a lot more stories when your truck is a chevy silverado. the most dependable, longest-lasting, full-size pickups on the road.

5:27 pm
liz: welcome back comedian samantha bee still facing backlash from hour veliger anti- woman slur of ivanka trump losing advertisers, auto trader and state farm basically pulling out of her tbs show full frontal , so samantha bee also told a crowd in los angeles yesterday at an event honoring her work for advancing social change, that the media focus needs to shift from the one bad word she said to the current treatment of immigrants at the border saying we spent the day wrestling with the repercussions when as a nation we're wrenching children from their parents treating people legally seeking a seem you'll as criminals, footnote here the event
5:28 pm
organizers banned the media from that event, press access was revoked before that event let's take a check of tbs parent company take warner stock closing the day in the red let's bring on katrina pierson, great to see you. samantha has a point about what's going on at the border that should be debated of course that should be reported. agree with that but why make that point by using a nasty comment about the first daughter whose also a working mother? this is a femininist attacking a woman whose a working mother, ivanka trump. >> well this is a classic example of do as i say not as i do with regard to using distracted things to takeaway from serious policy discussions, and they're all guilty of this, but look a lot of people want to talk about the left being either hypocritical or having a double standard, but i think it's worse than that liz, i think that these are just people who have are hate-filled and who really truly have a problem not just with let's say someone of the
5:29 pm
political opposition but someone who they're just simply jealous of, somebody like ivanka trump as you mentioned who is a mother and this picture of her hugging her child and that is absolutely absurd to take it to where the level that she took it to promote some policy that had nothing to do with that photo. liz: samantha bee also implied ivanka trump should wear short outfit to get her father to agree with it. that's also despicable. and by the way, katrina tammy bruce pointed out that violence like that about what she said how femininists are now speaking up that's why harvey weinstein survived for so long, and what's your take of samantha bee being honored for social change at an event like this in los angeles? >> well it's really not surprising. the left always pats themselves on the back and as you mentioned people like harvey weinstein flourish under those circumstances so it's really not surprising but i do think we are in a moment to where even people
5:30 pm
on the left are wondering have we taken it too far and i think people at home are really sick and tired of it but let's not pretend as many of the left are saying this somehow came from the rhetoric from the 2016 campaign. this began a long time ago, liz. i've been a black woman republican for a very long time, way longer before 2016, and the rhetoric against conservative women did not begin in 2016. its been going on for a very long time. liz: it's a great point you make and by the way cnn also went after samantha bee saying she was totally wrong. let's move on to disney ceo, he's criticized for canceling the roseanne show and now guess who else is criticizing him. bernie sanders he's meeting tomorrow with union leaders and workers near disney's theme park in california pushing for wage hikes. now, that's one democrat strategy to regain control of congress getting the government to force those wages higher. standards also in the past has ripped into disney repeatedly on
5:31 pm
social media saying, "it turns out that that $1,000 bonus disney gave to its workers as a result of the trump tax cut is a sham" and it should be pointed out disney just approved a compensation package for bob ige r, could potentially be worth up to $423 million. disney stock ending the day down , over 7% year-to-date as well. katrina what's your reaction to what bernie is doing here? >> well i think bernie is stick ing to what he's always talked about. he doesn't believe that people who make $400 million plus a year should have employees making a less than a liveable wage and liveable obviously is subjective, but i do think it's interesting when you have somebody like iger, who has disproportionately administered some of his policies and concessions, is now going to be under this type of micro microscope but it also goes to show when you marry a progressive party you'll marry it for better or worse. liz: we want to move on to this
5:32 pm
other strategy. here is chuck schumer memorial day weekend attacking president trump over rising oil prices, because trump pulled out of the iran deal but here is the point schumer voted against the iran deal, oil prices are dropping, no mention of iran and the democrat recent letter to the president on rising oil prices, the dems oppose oil pipeline development and offshore drill ing that would lower fuel prices. i mean, what is going on here with this strategy now to attract the president over that? >> it's just simply another do as i say not as i do. it's a common tactic that they use especially when somebody like chuck schumer who didn't vote for the deal who i guess you could say would be equally responsible, not to mention we are heading into the summer and gas prices do naturally go up even when the price is down but i do think this is another opportunity for the left to distract and not talk about the real policies on the table and all of the successes that the president has accomplished up to today. liz: katrina great to see you come back soon have a great weekend. >> you too. liz: let's get to this story

liz: welcome back liberal silicon valley company google now under fire, yet again. a google search on the california republican party
5:37 pm
listing naziism and republican house majority leader kevin mccarthy slamming that saying, " this is just the latest incident in a disturbing trend to slander at conservatives" these damaging actions must be held to account. google is now saying it is not responsible. instead, blaming wikipedia vandalism reportedly for the anti-conservative search results let's take a check of the parent company closing the day in the green, let's bring in the author of a book and the father of the superdog bitey, he's here plus washington times contributor eric schiffer. curt do you believe google? >> oh, i don't know, liz. i'm just stunned. i am stunned because these mistakes when they happen always seem to involve conservatives. it's remarkable what are the chances. liz: what do you think eric do you believe google? >> well, i did some homework independently and in fact there was a hack, okay? but here is the problem is that
5:38 pm
google has an engine, it can't allow the kind of smear merchant effects that occur even with a hack. they're too smart and that's what hurts trust with conservatives. liz: you know, james demore is speaking again about the liberal culture at this company. let's listen to him. >> 80% of conservatives feel like they can't bring up social issues at work in silicon valley and it's really unclear what exactly you can and can't say which just adds to the chilling effect. you don't know anyone that voted for trump because no one is willing to admit that they did. there are many people that show their support privately, but told me that they really weren't willing to show any public support because they too feared like that they would get fired. they definitely tried to smear me as some racist crazy person and i was really just trying to improve the workplace. liz: curt, what do you think of
5:39 pm
what james is saying and what's the fallout of shutting down debate at a company? >> oh, i think it's really really bad, liz. it's bad for our culture and it's going to be bad for these companies, because right now, they're using their power. they can flip a switch and you're off social media, you're at the bottom of the google find list, but people are going to come back and use their own power and what power do conservatives have? they have the government. if these guys invite regulation they're going to get it if that's the only way conservative s can ensure they can participate in society that's what's going to happen. i don't want it liz you don't want it but it's human nature you don't just roll over when people are picking on you. liz: eric let's get to this story because this is a striking story we're about to give you. a democrat congressional candidate in virginia put on an ad saying bin laden was the greatest threat to democracy and
5:40 pm
now is president trump. >> i'm different, i'm not a politician. i'm a scholar who served in combat. i'm for medicare for all option and against drug companies that rip off seniors. i'll fight the gun lobby to protect children, not guns. after 9/11, the greatest threat to our democracy lived in a cave today he lives in the white house. liz: eric your reaction? >> well look, we have the best economy now under this president i can't imagine a stronger component or piece of evidence on be half of democracy than the greatest economy and the most powerful economy in this country in the world and frankly, so i think that this is pure politics , he's trying to play to the base, and this is just it's ludacris to me. liz: do we forget what they did, curt? >> oh, no, we don't. look, liz this guy, like me, is a veteran but he does not speak
5:41 pm
for veterans what he's saying is disgraceful and dishonest. it's really appalling that someone would say things like that and expect to get votes. that's a heck of a lot more about his party than it does about anything else. liz: you guys have been great today and so great you came on eric and curt. curt i'm told you can pre-order your upcoming book, on amazon, so guys check it out when it comes out thank you, curt and eric for coming on. the media now criticizing conservative writer and filmmaker's pardon by president trump. my next guest says they are dead wrong about this story, judge andrew napolitano is going to speak out after this. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that.

flynn, paul manafort and michael cohen he's staying strong and there's a pardon for you. >> president trump seemingly passing out pardons to heros of the far right almost as eagerly as oprah once gifted pontiacs to in urban moms. >> he's throwing raw meat, a bone to the far right here, for over three decades has been an extreme ped letter of ideology, far right ideology and you have to say hatred. >> mr. trump added he's also considering for two stars of his former tv show, making this white house once again seem detached. liz: per his reaction let's bring in fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. great to have you on. >> likewise my dear e-mac. liz: you say an injustice was corrected? >> let me say for full disclosure that we have been friends for 40 years since he graduated from dartmouth, so i know him quite well and i'm
5:46 pm
probably bias in his favor but if you look at the record objectively, this is simply not a crime for which people are prosecuted, so he reimbursed people for unlawful political contributions to a failed republican/conservative send as candidate, in the state of new york by the name of wendy long. was wrong when he did it, i'm sure that he knew that it was wrong and he pleaded guilty to it. it was a total of $20,000. there have been this type of in fraction well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and the normal government reaction has been pay back the money and you get a fine and that's it. it's handled civil. it's handled through administrative law court. it's not handled criminally. why was this handled criminally? because the on people hated him because the justice department hated him, because he didn't hold back in his criticism of them.
5:47 pm
i mean, in retrospect this was a political prosecution and what the president did was not an act of mercy. what the president did was an act of justice. liz: you know, people critics have said he pushes the envelope , he has questionable conspiracy theories themselves that's been the criticism. dinesh did explain to fox earlier to your point his belief that put all that aside obama and his team did unfarley target him. let's listen to dinesh. >> what happened here is that obama and his team, eric holder, these guys decided to make an example of me and i think that the reason for this was obama's anger over my movie that i made about him. this was a political hit that was kind of aimed at putting me out of business essentially destroying my credibility making
5:48 pm
it impossible for me to make movies, write books and it still left a cloud off me. i would be a life long fellow and never be able to vote and never have my full rights, and so i'm very grateful to president trump for giving me those rights back. liz: what's the proof that obama and his team targeted dinesh? >> that they didn't prosecute anybody else who did substantially the same thing in other campaigns where greater amounts of money was involved. you know, dinesh is a brilliant political philosopher and writer and he really really really got under the skin of the president and of eric holder and did he commit a crime? yes he did. did he plead guilty to it? yes he did. is it a crime for which people are prosecuted in this day and age? no it isn't so that's the argument in a nutshel. i don't care if he ped eled conspiracy theories.
5:49 pm
his popularity and books will rise or fall on whether what he writes is credible but he's entitled to the same human respect as anyone else is and if he's in a category of people that are not prosecuted you pick one person out of that category because the prosecutors hate him , and then the president of the united states five years later tries to rectify that, the left is going crazy. there's nothing for them to go crazy about. if he were michael moore and the president were hillary clinton, and the facts were otherwise the same, they'd be jumping for joy in the streets. liz: yeah, you just made great points there, judge. next time we want you in studio love having you sitting next to me, judge. >> i'll see you bright and early monday morning. liz: on stuart varney great to have you on you have a good weekend. >> you too, e-mac. liz: we have a very special guest coming up he says being a foster child made him conservative. he is such an interesting take on things you'll want to hear it, but his conservative values were pivotal in helping

5:54 pm
-addicted mother and i don't know who my biological father is and i spent my early childhood in and out of foster homes and my parents didn't take responsibility for me and so through a series of kind of turbulent and chaotic experiences, later i met a teacher who told me that if i took responsibility for my life and made the right decisions that i could change my future and so because adults took responsibility and helped and guided me and i later took responsibility for my own life i was able to find success both when i joined the air force and then more recently when i graduated from yale. liz: so how is that conservativism different from being liberal? how is not being a liberal help ed you? >> well i think that there are two things that the two points specifically that i made which are personal responsibility, so because adults in my lift took responsibility for mentoring me and then i myself took responsibility for the choices that i made, i was able to find

success and the number two i think that having a sort of intact family is also very important and this is something that i realized as i was adopted later on and spent a few years in a stable environment and that helped to reflect on what i wanted to do with my life and helped contribute to my decision to join the military. liz: so you've served in the military. tell us more, i think you mentioned in your column about the victim ideology. can you talk a little bit about that? >> well i think that when you tell people they're victims and that society forces and the system is against them, that that can drain the motivation to do something with your life whereas i think if you tell people that you have some control over what you're going to do and that the decisions you make today can change what will happen tomorrow, i think that's very important in getting away from that kind of victimhood mentality and helping people to flourish. liz: you say yale university is

fewer than 12% conservative and that last year a fellow student said that you're a victim i think that's the first time you heard yourself described as a victim is that true? >> yeah, i never heard anyone call me a victim before. i grew up in sort of a situation of poverty in meyerly childhood and later on, in a more rural environment with sort of working class people and then later on in the military, so no one ever had told me that i was a victim but then by the time i get to yale i'm surrounded by people who have come from wealth and telling me i'm a victim and this is a new thing for me. liz: robert what an incredible story i urge everybody to read your store story online. what incredible insights good to see you. >> thank you. liz: we'll have more after the break don't go away. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them.
